War Books by John Masefield
THE OLD FRONT LINE
2s. 6d. net
"Mr. John Masefield in 'The Old Front Line' describes with imagination and precision—qualities that are more nearly allied than the Philistine supposes—the opposing lines of the armies before the Battle of the Somme, as they may now be seen. Mr. Masefield refrains from writing the story of the seven months' conflict, but he lightens his description with a few anecdotes. With its well-chosen photographs and trench-map, this little book will be of permanent value for the understanding of the greatest battle that British troops have fought and won."—Spectator.
GALLIPOLI
2s. 6d. net
"The tragedy of the Gallipoli campaign, so perplexing and distressing as it was to us who looked on helplessly, so destructive to those who enacted their parts in it, is here revealed to us in a new light. Far from being spared the horrors of it, we are shown them in minutest detail and with a wealth of descriptive power, but the horrors seen in the light of the soldiers' valour cease to appal."—Church Times.
