Letters of a regular officer, 2nd Sussex, Western Front 1914-16 & 1917 as Bde. MG Officer, commander of an MG Coy., an infantry bn. & on the staff. The 'chevrons' of the title refer to the service chevrons worn on the right sleeve for each year of overseas service, blue for 1914-15 & red for each subsequent year. Orig. dec. cloth, blindstamped & titled in red & blue, cloth little rubbed, generally VG in rare & chipped/torn but neatly presented dw, with author inscrip. on half title "From H.F. Bidder / Feb/1933" In another hand, above the presentation inscrip., is written "H.V. Smoth." Scarce volume in the 'On Active Service' series & works in the series are most elusive in their jackets. See illustration on our website.
