Sapper officer's pseudonymous day-to-day diary with 2nd Army in the Ypres Salient, April-Nov. 1918. Reprinted by the same publisher in 1929, but without the sketch map of Ypres & environs, & the 1st Edition here presented is rare. A classic of which Falls stated: "expressive of 'disillusionment' - that hard worked word... it must be added that he gives a stirring & realistic account of the final phases of the war." Note: Atkinson served in 237 Fd. Co. (41st. Div.). Orig. red cloth, titled in black, VG. See illustration on our website.
