Mainly letters written during the summer & autumn of 1917, but this 2nd edition enlarged with some 1918 letters written "between the English retreat in the spring of 1918 & the signing of the Armistice." Brown was Ed. at Haileybury & served with the Suffolk Regt., awarded OBE, & his work was highly regarded by the press, The Times reviewer noting: "The writer has the literary gift... he sets down vivid little impressions of life at the Base, of 'comic' railway journeys in timeless trains, of billets, of hospital, & especially of life in the front trench... Captain Manwaring makes a great puzzle more puzzling yet by being frank about cowardice..." VG & rare in sl. chipped, spotted & marked dw. See illustration on our website.
