Service with 3rd Coldstream F&F 1915-16 as a company commander, then commanded 6th (S) Bn. Connaught Rangers (16th Irish Div.) on the Somme & later 1/15th Londons (47th Div.) until the end of the war. Falls, awarding a rare two-star rating, states: "In simple terms, but with remarkable power, with hardly a complaint - except on a few occasions when he thought his officers or men unfairly used - he tells a wonderful story. Very few men can have such a story to tell, for very few had the fortune like him to survive battle after battle, & come out not only unwounded but unscathed in nerve & spirit." Orig. blue cloth, gilt, VG, nice copy with pencil ownership inscrip. to ffep "Dorothy Schofield" & presentation inscrip. to half title: "To dear Harry With much love from Dorothy 29-1-'30" beneath which an unknown hand has added "H. Schofield VC at Colenso." See illustration on our website.
