Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is based on a series of eight articles the author wrote in 1928 though, as he says, in writing it he has revised hasty judgements, made some rearrangement, rewritten ill-considered passages, and added a substantial amount of new material. One can certainly say that the result is an outstanding work and one that has been widely acclaimed. Douie was posted to the 1st Dorsets towards the end of 1915 when he reached the age of nineteen, though before reporting to them he spent a short time with an entrenching battalion, and this record is in the main concerned with his service in his battalion on the Western Front. He joined them at Rainneville a few miles to the north of Amiens, and was posted to No 1 Platoon of A Company of whom he writes: The hand of death lay heavily on that company. To my certain knowledge fourteen, nearly one half, gave their lives, and of the remainder I do not know the fate of several. Apart from a brief two months in the Bethune sector (Aug/Sep 1916) Douie's battalion (14th Brigade, 32nd Division) was on the Somme from the end of 1915 to May 1917, when the battalion was sent north to Nieuport, and it is this period that takes up much of his powerfully descriptive narrative. At the time of the Armistice he was in Italy, away from his battalion, and the final chapter deals with this period.…

First edition, uncommon in the jacket. "If one were asked to name the book which voiced most expressively and with the greatest literary art the sentiments of the best type of junior British officer in the War, one would find it hard to select a better than this" (Falls); Lengel calls it "one of the best British memoirs". Douie served in France and Flanders with the 1st Battalion Dorset Regiment, and in Italy with the 1st Garrison Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers. "An insightful meditation on how soldiers experienced and remembered the war, and a critique of the disillusionment school of war writing. Douie does not provide a narrative of his day-to-day life at the front, which he considers too tedious to chronicle in detail, but illustrates his memoir with scenes from the Somme and Flanders, where he spent several weeks stationed on the Belgian coast" (Lengel). Falls p.193, awarding two stars (of a maximum three) for "a very good book"; Lengel 511. Octavo. Original green cloth-backed textured paper boards, paper label to spine and front cover. With dust jacket illustrated with Orpen's "Thinker on the Butte de Warlencourt". Scattered foxing to edges of text block and internally; jacket spine sunned and with a few nicks, chips, and short closed tears. A very good copy.…
