SOCIAL LIFE IN THE BRITISH ARMY
By Capt. W. E. Cairnes. Author of "An Absent-Minded War." Crown 8vo, special cover design, 6s. With 16 full-page Illustrations on art paper by R. Caton Woodville. [Third Edition.
Pall Mall Gazette.—"Brightly written by the Military expert of the Westminster Gazette, and neatly illustrated by Mr. Caton Woodville; this is a most interesting and instructive volume. It is just what was wanted now that the question of the cost of life in the Army and the impossibility for an officer of living upon his pay has been brought into such prominence. The question is emphatically one of those which must not be allowed to slip away again should a long peace follow on the present war, as questions have a way of doing. "A British Officer" makes some very shrewd points in the matter. He performs a useful service in clearing the ground of vulgar exaggerations, the French and Russian myths of the British Officer's wild luxuriousness, the agitator's "gilded popinjay" superficialities, the duties and recreations of the officer, sketches life at Sandhurst and the Staff College, and devotes a chapter to Tommy and to Mrs. Tommy in the married quarters."
Army and Navy Gazette.—"No volume has appeared dealing so thoroughly and so competently with the inner life of the Army. It is not merely descriptive, but will be welcomed by all those who contemplate putting their sons in the Service, for they will realise better than otherwise they might do what the conditions of military life are."
