Add to basketGrey Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Grey Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 51 pages; a foreword by Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery; from the dj: "These 27 poems by officers and soldiers of the British Eighth Army were all written under fire… in the midst of one of the greatest campaigns of this war--while Rommell was retreating across the Western Desert. They express completely the thoughts of these men--thoughts of battle.of love and of home." and from the foreword by Gen. Montgomery: "Perhaps, it is not too fanciful to see in the poems that follow something of the greatness of mind and spirit with which this valiant Army has been fired, and to which so many of its finest achievements can be attributed." Book condition: a bookplate is on the front fly leaf; there is foxing in the area of both endpaper hinges, darker in the rear; the blue dj spine is a bit faded, otherwise, book and dj are very nice indeed, for a wartime book.
