“Few if any two-guinea books have had such a sale as the First World War.”—Evening Standard.
“Colonel Repington’s fame as a military critic is world-wide. He now gives us his personal experiences of the war in the form of a Diary which will compare with the most famous diaries in literature.... Few diarists show keener observation or greater power of description than Colonel Repington here displays, and none before has had such a period of history for his theme.”—Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice in The Daily News.
“... There are countless piquant little pen pictures through these two books.... Colonel Repington met all the great soldiers of the Allies.... The book is full of extraordinarily good stories and remarks.”—Sunday Times.
EXPERIENCES OF A DUG-OUT. By Major-General Sir C. E. Callwell, K.C.B.
18s. net.
The General held the appointment of Director of Military Operations during the early years of the war, and was indeed in the saddle at the beginning of the operations in 1914. In this volume he shows us behind the scenes and enables us to see clearly much that was obscure. His book reveals to us in an intimate way the personality of Lord Kitchener and many others, and introduces us to the War Cabinet.
“A vivacious picture of life behind the scenes of the great drama ... told keenly and poignantly, with a biting humour ... and with a frankness of disclosure.”—The Times.
“Sir Charles Callwell is one of the soundest military critics in the country.... He is a writer ... his sense of proportion is never at fault.”—Spectator.
