Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. pp517-522, plus six plates. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1900. VG. In plastic report covers. From the introduction by Everybody's Magazine where the article first appeared: Mr. Dugmore's extraordinary photographs of wild birds and animals in their daily occupations have already attracted much attention. He seems to have a peculiar faculty, like Thoreau, of making friends of all sorts of wild creatures; in two days in the woods, for instance, he will get such a wild bird as a worm-eating warbler so accustomed to him that she will feed her young on his hand, having her picture taken at the same moment This story is the first of a series which will give character studies of different animals with whom he has become acquainted, along with reproductions of the author's surprisingly lifelike and interesting photographs. It is the most intimate and illuminating sort of natural history. The pictures reproduced herewith are particularly notable as they are perhaps the first good photographs of beaver ever secured, the nocturnal habits and shyness of these animals making them peculiarly difficult subjects for the animal photographer.". …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written by Captain A. Radclyffe Dugmore of the King's Own Light Infantry, this personal memoir provides an excellent account of the Great War up to the Battle of the Somme. A wide ranging and perceptive relation of events, Radclyffe Dugmore's pedigree as a professional writer shines through. In 1914, Radclyffe Dugmore travelled to Belgium as a civilian observer where he was wounded before spending a brief time in German captivity. These experiences gained Radclyffe Dugmore a highly unusual viewpoint for the opening battles of the war, that of a civilian, and later as a participant on the front lines of the Somme. Originally published under the title When The Somme Ran Red in 1918, Radclyffe Dugmore's memoir has sadly been long out of print. Yet what the author modestly described as 'Being a very egotistical account of my own personal experiences and observations from the early days of the war in Belgium to the Great Battle of the Somme in July, 1916' proves to be anything but that, consisting of a fascinating and rare account, sympathetically dedicated to the memory of the officers and men of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry who fell in the Battle of the Somme. This new re-print of Radclyffe Dugmore's classic volume is a worthy addition to the primary source literature of the Great War, and casts new light on the experiences of the brave men who saw the terror of the Battle of the Somme first hand. AUTHOR: Captain A. Radclyffe Dugmore was a big game hunter and writer who published a large number of popular books on the subject of hunting in Africa. Despite being six years over age at the outbreak of the Great War he succeeded in obtaining a commission and served as a Captain into the ranks of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. He saw action in France during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. His powerful and evocative account of his military service was first published in 1918 under the title When The Somme Ran Red. Original memoir first published in 1918 that has been long out of print. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
