Personal impressions of an Army Service Corps officer with 60th Div. during 1917-18. Seligman was a young officer who left Charterhouse early in the war. Falls writes: "His book consists of a series of sketches, most of them slight in nature, of conditions during the campaign in Macedonia. One or two of the papers are of a more serious kind, & all give a good notion of the atmosphere of this curious campaign of many nationalities." One notable light-hearted but useful descriptive piece is "Maxims of a Supply Officer" in which the author explains the problems of balancing units' expectations with available supplies, et al. Orig. wheat cloth, titled in brown, VG & scarce. See illustration on our website.
