Observations of the Chief Commissioner of the Church Army in France, running recreation huts & canteens as well as ministering to the spiritual needs of servicemen: "My work has brought me into contact both with the men in the recreation huts & also with the military authorities at Army HQs & Divisional HQs in the various sections of the areas in which my work lay... I have thus had opportunities of hearing & seeing things from the point of view both of the officers & men, & I have tried to catch & to reflect something of the spirit that inspires our armies in France." Orig. dec. grey cloth, lacks ffep o/w VG in chipped but attractive & rare pictorial dw. See illustration on our website.
