Ed. & intro. by Henry Williamson, who had been to school with Bell & served with him in the LRB 1914-15. Bell was commissioned in the Seaforth Highlanders in April 1915 & quickly wounded at Hill 60. Returned to the front for Loos & the Somme, awarded MC, & later transferred to the RFC as a pilot. In 1926, when HW attended the reunion dinner of the original LRB men who had sailed for France in November 1914 per the troopship "Chyabassa" he remet Douglas Bell, who was then writing his war memoirs. HW was a reasonably well known published author by this time & Bell asked for his help which was evidently willingly forthcoming as HW wrote the Introduction to his book. Orig. red cloth, gilt, VG in chipped dw with red ink ownership inscrip. "Henry Williamson Georgeham 1928" plus a few light pencilled annotations to his Introduction, suggesting amendments, & one interesting marginal note to Bell's text referencing "P" i.e. Phillip Maddison.

HW was a reasonably well known published author by this time & Bell asked for his help which was evidently willingly forthcoming as HW wrote the Introduction to his book. Pre-publication proof copy sent to HW who has made numerous annotations & suggested changes to his Introduction. Curiously he wanted to call his Introduction 'Inscription' - but this was not adopted by the publishers. This copy also includes two versions of the Epigraph. The longer version appeared in the published version: a shorter version was struck through by HW in green ink & it may well be that his opinion determined the final published version. Issued with plain grey paper wraps., the upper one now lacking, loosely bound & semi-derelict but bibliographically important. See illustrations on our website.
