Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. [20], 194, [6] pages. Footnote. Illustrations. Includes the text of a letter sent to the author by T. E. Shaw (T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia) and an Epilogue. The illustrated dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve has has minor wear and soiling. Some soiling of fore-edge and bottom edges noted. Noted for new content. Williamson first wrote of his war experiences in The Wet Flanders Plain in 1929 (reminiscences after a return to the battlefields) followed by The Patriot's Progress in 1930, which is the story of John Bullock, an 'everyman' soldier, and considered a classic in the genre of war novels. Henry William Williamson (1 December 1895 13 August 1977) was an English writer who wrote novels concerned with wildlife, English social history, ruralism and the First World War. He was awarded the Hawthornden Prize for literature in 1928 for his book Tarka the Otter. He fought in the First World War and, having witnessed the Christmas truce and the devastation of trench warfare, he developed a pacifist ideology. He moved to Devon after the Second World War and took up farming and writing; he wrote many other novels. Williamson became disgusted with what he considered to be the pointlessness of the war, blaming its causation on greed and bigotry. He became determined that Germany and Britain should never go to war again. Williamson was also powerfully influenced by the camaraderie that he experienced in the trenches, and what he saw as the bonds of kinship Tarka also sparked a friendship with T. E. Lawrence who had similar views about the need for a lasting peace settlement in Europe. William ('Bill') Archer Kermode (1895-1959) was born (in the same year as HW) in Tasmania, and was very proud of this background (stating that his forebears had helped establish Tasmania). He came to London in 1911, aged 16, living in Kensington, and volunteered as a Private in the Royal Engineers at or soon after the outbreak of the war. By 15 July 1917 he was acting second lieutenant in the Tanks Corps, and by September that year was engineering workshop officer in B Company 13th Tank Battalion. Involved in the Battle of Amiens which began on 8 August 1918, where there was a huge loss of the vital tanks, Kermode was awarded the MC, " for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty near Hallu, east of Amiens, on 10 August, 1918." Hearing that a tank had broken down, he had gone forward and despite heavy shelling and machine-gun fire, had repaired it fit for action, so that it could proceed. He continued to another tank, again repairing it so it could operate. Two weeks later, on 23 August, he was gassed (the Germans sent over gas shells at dawn into the woods where tanks were known to be assembled ready for attack) and was returned to England. John Bullock enlists, endures the war, is wounded and returns home, back where he started. The Patriot's Progress is an account of an ordinary soldier's experience in the First World War. Private John Bullock represents 'Every Soldier' or 'Any Soldier', and it must be noted that it is no coincidence that the title echoes John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (1684). Bunyan in his turn had drawn on the medieval morality play Everyman, which tells the progress of its hero from complacency through fear and despair at the prospect of death to a resignation that leads to redemption. So it can be seen that some analogy can be drawn with these books. But HW does not follow the path of onward progress that Bunyan's pilgrim Christian took. For HW's central character 'progress' is an ironic allusion: there is no progress. John Bullock (the name is allusive 'John Bull' being symbolic for quintessential rural Englishman) is an ordinary man who at the onset of war becomes the archetypal common soldier fighting patriotically for a cause he does not understand; unthinking, unimaginative, but grimly determined, facing every horror, first of brutal initiation into army life and then that of the trenches with the futility of battle, until the inevitable result of a shell wound, leg amputation, and a return to the mindless non-understanding of life in England. HW's tight control of his subject matter in this book, his use of structure and language, show a compelling mastery of writing skill. Second Impression of this edition.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. A smart second impression of this illustrated war novel based on true events, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. First edition, second impression. Published the same month and year as the first impression. Illustrated throughout with linocuts. A fictionalized account of the ordinary soldier's First World War experience based on real events.

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Geoffrey Bles, 1930 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 194. Condition Report: Very Good. The original maroon buckram binding remains tight, square, and structurally sound, showing only mild bumping to the spine ends. The boards are bright and clean, with the gilt spine lettering remaining sharp and unoxidised. Internally, the pages are largely crisp, though the preliminary leaves and deckled text block edges exhibit scattered foxing typical of the era. The original unclipped dust jacket (retaining the 10s 6d net price on the front flap) is present, exhibiting sun-toning to the spine and minor chipping and closed tears along the extremities, yet it remains a highly presentable example safely housed within a clear protective sleeve. Catalogue Note: This striking volume is illustrated throughout with powerful, expressionistic lino-cuts by William Kermode. It was Kermode's original artwork that initially inspired Williamson to compose the accompanying text, describing the project as "verbal concrete" around Kermode's stark images. This copy is a true first printing, first impression. While the 1930 trade edition was issued in a respectable run of 3,000 copies, finding an example that retains its fragile original wrapper, especially one that remains unclipped, is increasingly uncommon on the open market. There are no notable bookplates or institutional stamps, presenting a clean, honest example of this First World War classic. Conceived in the wake of the massive success of Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, Henry Williamsonâs The Patriot's Progress offers an unflinching, characteristically British perspective on the First World War. The novel follows Private John Bullock, a naive London clerk whose name intentionally echoes the quintessential 'John Bull,' as he eagerly enlists, only to face the unrelenting horror and disillusionment of trench warfare. Through five brutal phases spanning the Somme to Passchendaele, Williamsonâs stark prose and Kermodeâs visceral lino-cuts combine to create a haunting indictment of blind patriotism and a poignant tribute to a lost generation.
