Invaluable, detailed stage-by-stage account of the battle. Becke was attached to the Historical Section (Military Branch) of the Committee of Imperial Defence, so had - for a regimental historian writing in 1918 - privileged access to the relevant War Diaries. In addition, he interviewed every available artillery officer who was present, & as a respected military historian & gunner officer his analysis & thoroughness are beyond question. Orig. paper covd. printed boards, red cloth backstrip, nice clean copy, VG throughout. See illustration on our website.
