Description

London: Collins, 1969. 383 pp, 8 1/2" H. The author of this fictionalized account served with the Coldstream Guards in the First Wold War, receiving five wounds and losing almost every one of his school friends - he writes from experience. "Jim Hilton is a subaltern of nineteen when he goes out to Flanders for the first time in April 1916, and a veteran of twenty-one, twice wounded, married, gazetted Major, by the time his story ends. It is a story of courage and the waste of human life in the bloody carnage of the Ypres Salient and the Battle of the Somme that could have been written only by someone who was there and saw it, who was a participant in the struggle in which millions of men fought and died for narrow stretches of shattered ground and useless villages in an unending sea of mud." Bequest bookplate on front free endpaper, minor edge wear to boards, minor browning at the top/bottom edges of the spine. Dust jacket has light edge wear, two small closed tears with crease, tiny tears and wear at top of flap-folds, minor soiling, now protected in removable mylar sleeve. . Not Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Roger Coleman, dust jacket art..
