Descripción

4to., First and Sole Edition, with a mounted coloured plate, 2 sepia-toned plates, and very numerous illustrations, cartoons and plans (several full-page) in the text; original wrappers printed in red and black, additional colour plate mounted in frame on front wrapper, wire-stitched as issued, yapped edges, extremities lightly dust-soiled else a very good, clean copy. The 38th (Welsh) Division served with great distinction on the Western Front throughout WWI. Major engagements included Albert, Pilckem, Langemarck, Bapaume, Havrincourt and Cambrai (where the division captured Villers-Outreaux). The four plates (by Capt. A. St. John MacCall RBA) depict 'Rue Sadi Carnot, Armentieres', 'Albert, August 1918', 'St. Remy, Dieppe' and 'Street in Dieppe'. Essentially a collection of reminiscences, light-hearted anecdotes and articles, cartoons and poems (including a few in Welsh). A rare survival, especially in this condition.
