Description
8vo., Uncorrected Proof Copy; original wrappers, upper cover with paper label printed in black, a near fine copy housed in custom-made board solander case with printed paper labels. With the following additional items: (1) typescript resume on author's printed stationery of the British Military Mission in Siberia 1918-1920 (with MS corrections); (2) draft T.L. on the author's printed stationery. A request by the author for information regarding Lieut.-Col. L.C. Morley, Royal Hampshire Regiment, senior officer i/c British Military Mission at Irkutsk in 1919; (3) T.L.s. from Captain H. Flint, Royal Hampshire Regiment, responding in some detail to the author's request; (4) publisher's printed order form for the published work. Apart from the author's book we have been unable to trace any published dedicated account of BRITMIS, which accordingly remains a well-nigh forgotten component of the immediate aftermath of WWI. A UNIQUE COLLECTION NOW SAFELY PRESERVED FOR THE FUTURE.
