First edition, presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the front free endpaper to Lieutenant L. O. R. Ashley (1883-1947), opening: "Dear Ashley, It gives me great pleasure to sign this little book for you and, in doing so, I cannot help thinking of the great days in March 1918 when we all fought side by side together on the Bapaume-Cambrai road". Lionel Owen Randolph Ashley, who served with a Mechanical Transport company of the Royal Army Service Corps, was at one time officer commanding 194 Siege Battery Ammunition Column (SBAC). He has written these details, along with his dates of service (1917-19), and address on the front pastedown; his neat facsimile-signature ownership stamp is also here, and on the front panel of the jacket. On the half-title he writes in remembrance of Major Hugh Aglionby, who appears in the book as Hugh Merredew, noting that "at Oxford & in private life afterwards one of my greatest friends". A few days before the Armistice, Aglionby died of wounds received in action at Moen in Flanders. In his inscription, dated 3 January 1931, Lushington writes "I cannot help thinking of our mutual friend Hugh Aglionby" and concludes by remarking, "I should like to add a personal tribute to the A.S.C. without whose devoted and unselfish support we Gambardiers would not have been able to carry on". Lushington also supplies some 15 identifying marginal notes in his neat hand; Ashley naming Aglionby in the margin at pp. 220-1. "Gambardier" is army slang for an officer of the Royal Garrison Artillery. Lushington (1892-1964) commanded 244 Siege Battery - the unit in which the poet Edward Thomas (Thomas Tyler in the book), was serving when killed during the first hour of the Battle of Arras. Lengel 708. Octavo. Half-tone frontispiece and 7 plates, in-text maps and plans. Original black cloth, gilt-lettered spine. With dust jacket, artwork by R. Hartman.

First edition, first impression of this important artillery battery commander's account of service on the Western Front. This an excellent association copy from the library of gunner and military historian Major Archibald Frank Becke (1871-1947), with a letter from the author concerning Becke's, unacknowledged, involvement in the writing of the book, and Becke's typically meticulous annotations and comments. Lushington commanded 224 Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery - "gambardier" is army slang for an officer of the RGA - the unit in which the poet Edward Thomas was serving when killed by a shell blast during the first hour of the Battle of Arras. Tipped in facing the acknowledgements is a two-page letter from Lushington apologising for Becke's omission from that list, due to a "mistake of the publisher or the printer", and thanking him for his "help in the matter of the early siege batteries". Becke's ownership inscription and armorial bookplate to the front pastedown, his pencilled underlines, marginal markings and occasional notes throughout, and index of comments recto of the rear free endpaper. Contemporary review from an unidentified source mounted recto of the front free endpaper - "this unpretentious work is very much more valuable than many of the most heralded 'best sellers' of the War-book boom". Covers the battery's service throughout the war, including Festubert, the Somme, Arras, Ypres and Messines, Cambrai, and the final days, and gives an account of Thomas's time on the Front, under the name of Tyler, laconically describing his death in battle. Becke was involved in the compilation of the British official history series, producing maps for several volumes and editing the Order of Battle, he was also the author of a well-regarded account of Waterloo, and numerous articles on artillery, including a critical study of artillery at Le Cateau, tactical and strategic matters. Uncommon and attractive in the dust jacket, this copy with wonderful provenance. Lengel 708. Octavo. Frontispiece and 7 other plates, maps and plans to the text. Original black cloth, titles gilt to spine. With the superb R. Hartman dust jacket. Slight foxing to edges and toning to text block; unclipped jacket slightly worn and brown with minor loss at foot of spine panel, closed tear to front panel, residue of tape repair to verso: a very good copy in good jacket. …
