Gallipoli & Western Front with 63rd RN Div. Jerrold, also the divisional historian, served with the Hawke. Falls thought him "...about the best writer who has hitherto applied himself to formation & unit histories. The peculiar spirit of the bn., & indeed of the whole division, is made very real... This is good literature as well as history." Orig. blue cloth, gilt, VG, nice clean copy with an interesting association copy with ownership inscrip. of "Marjorie (now Ricketts) but nee Ellis" whose forebears, Bernard & Evelyn are mentioned in the text. See illustrations on our website.
