From Wikipedia: "Robert Cedric Sherriff (6 June 1896-13 November 1975) was an English writer best known for his play Journey's End, which was based on his experiences as a captain in World War I. He wrote several plays, novels, and screenplays, and was nominated for an Academy award and two BAFTA awards. Educated at Kingston Grammar School in Kingston upon Thames from 1905-1913, Sheriff maintained close links with his old school for the rest of his life, sending a copy of Journey's End to the school's headmaster after the play was first performed in 1928. R. C Sheriff remained a generous benefactor to the school until his death. In particular he paid close attention to the school rowing club, which now bears his name. With Sherriff s support the Boat Club flourished. By 1957 there were over 70 members, with their own uniform and an annual dinner. The following year, having already financed a number of boats named after a string of successful plays ("Journey's End", "White Carnation", "Home at Seven", "Long Sunset" and "Badger's Green"), Sherriff purchased a piece of land at the end of Aragon Avenue in Thames Ditton for the purpose of building a School boathouse. Completed in 1980, the building stands as a monument to the generosity and goodwill of R. C Sherriff. Sherriff served (1915 to 1918) as a captain in the 9th battalion of the East Surrey Regiment in World War I, serving at Vimy and Loos. He was severely wounded at Passchendaele near Ypres in 1917. He was awarded the Military Cross during the war. He was a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the Society of Antiquaries of London. He first wrote a play to help Kingston Rowing Club raise money to buy a new boat. His seventh play, Journey's End, was written in 1928 and published in 1929 and was based on his experiences in the war. It was given a single Sunday performance, on 9 December 1928, by the Incorporated Stage Society at the Apollo Theatre, directed by James Whale and with the 21-year-old Laurence Olivier in the lead role. In the audience was Maurice Browne who produced it at the Savoy Theatre where it was performed for two years from 1929. Sherriff also wrote prose. His own novelized version of Journey's End was published in 1929. His 1939 novel, The Hopkins Manuscript is an H. G. Wells-influenced post-apocalyptic story about an earth devastated because of a collision with the Moon. Its sober language and realistic depiction of an average man coming to terms with a ruined England is said to have been an influence on later science fiction authors such as John Wyndham and Brian Aldiss. The Fortnight in September, an earlier novel, published in 1931, is a rather more plausible story about a Bognor holiday enjoyed by a lower-middle-class family from Dulwich. Sherriff was nominated along with Eric Maschwitz and Claudine West for an Academy award for writing an adapted screenplay for Goodbye, Mr. Chips which was released in 1939. His 1955 screenplays, The Dam Busters and The Night My Number Came Up were nominated for best British screenplay BAFTA awards." From Wikipedia: "Charles Vernon Oldfield Bartlett CBE (30 April 1894, Westbury, Wiltshire 18 January 1983) was an English journalist, politician and author who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1938 to 1950. After education at Blundell's School Bartlett was invalided out of the Army in World War I. As a journalist he worked for the Daily Mail, and was a foreign correspondent for The Times.

The text is fine. A novelization of Sherriff's play, one of 600 numbered copies Signed by both authors. Sherriff had been a young officer during WWI and upon his return to civilian life as an insurance clerk became interested in amateur theater. *Journey's End*, based on Sherriff's letters to his family during the war, was written as an amateur effort but at the suggestion of a friend he sent it to George Bernard Shaw, who helped get it produced. The play, a powerful and poignant antiwar story set in the trenches of WWI, became a smash stage hit under the direction of James Whale, who had himself been a POW. With the advent of talkies, stage hits and stage professionals were suddenly in demand, and Whale was imported to Hollywood to direct the film version. He followed his debut with several other stylish moviesâ"notably his classic horror filmsâ"before retiring from films in 1941. The plot was reworked with an all-star cast in 1976 as *Aces High*. Sherriff also wrote or co-wrote screenplays for several other important films including *The Old Dark House, The Invisible Man* (both directed by Whale), *The Four Feathers* and *Odd Man Out*.
