Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: FAIR. First edition. The first book in what was intended to be a 4 books series on "Boys at the Front in the Great War" - but apparently only the first 2 titles were published, both in 1915. Illustrated with a glossy frontispiece and 5 inserted plates by Bayard Jones. 286 pp. Fair condition only in illustrated blue cl…oth (front free endpaper and one plate missing, crease down spine, other wear to the covers, but still a very readable and reasonably decent copy of a hard-to-find title).
