"A cheery, chatty chronicle. The author has a keen eye for the humour of circumstance and a most beguiling way."—Morning Post.
Bright and exhilarating. It is sure to be read widely."—Scotsman.
""Even more hearty and sincere than the successful 'Temporary Heroes.'"—Liverpool Courier.
THE BOY WITH THE GUNS. By the late Lieut. G. W. Taylor. Edited by his sister Mrs. Roger Cookson. With an introduction by Sir James Crichton-Browne. With Illustrations and Maps. Crown 8vo. 5/- net.
This is a vividly realistic account of the work done and hardships endured by our Royal Field Artillery in the war, and of their "hair-breadth 'scapes in the imminent deadly breach" in France and Flanders, by one who went through them all and made the supreme sacrifice.
PUSHING WATER. By R.N.V. (Lieut. Eric Dawson.) Crown 8vo. 4/- net.
"Pushing Water" reveals a phase of warfare of which the world knows little or nothing. It is the story of the "Movy" of submarine-hunting and mine sweeping in perilous seas, of duties faithfully accomplished, without expectation of fame or reward. As a sidelight on a branch of the Navy's activities it has a good deal of interest, but the book would recommend itself on the score of its quiet humour and abundant anecdote alone.
"This entertaining book ... a vivid picture of existence on a 'Movy.'"—Sunday Times.
"An animated narrative."—Scotsman.
"Described with real humour ... decidedly interesting."—Birmingham Post.
