Rear cover has and a lovely full page topical pictorial Advert - In blacks/greys/oranges - for Cavander's 'Army club' Cigarettes. The Front cover has Adverts, decorated border, etc, all in blues/oranges. And a 1/4 page photo of 'Stetcher -bearers carrying a Wounded Tommy from the Battlefield'. A few small marks, but internally VG. Overall VG +/NF. A fascinating period magazine and very topical given the current release of the film 1917.
