War-time Reading
RED CROSS & IRON CROSS
By A DOCTOR IN FRANCE. “One of the most fearful and poignant indictments of German militarism that has ever been uttered by word or pen. There is something at the back of the strong emotion with which he writes that stamps even the ghastliest of his revelations with the unmistakable mark of truth.—Pall Mall Gazette. 4TH Impression. 2s. 6d. net
BATTERY FLASHES By “WAGGER.”
“Makes extraordinarily good reading. It is a homely account by a signaller in the Territorial Artillery of his day's work in training and at the Front. He writes of the little things of a soldier's life, quite as much as of the bigger things, bursting shells, collapsing dug-outs, the perilous crossing of shot-swept zones, and other incidents of actual fighting. The book as a whole gives us a deep insight into the mind of the modern soldier.”—Daily Mail. 2s. 6d. net
BALLADS OF BATTLE
Written and illustrated by Corporal JOSEPH LEE. “Here is a soldier and a poet and a black-and-white artist of merit, and we wouldn't exchange him fof a dozen professional versifiers who cannot write with a spade or draw with a bayonet, or blow martial music out of a mouth-organ.”—Morning Post. 2s. 6d. net
A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN WAR-TIME
By S. P. B. MAIS. “You must read this book from beginning to end if you wish to understand how triumphantly the Public School spirit has justified all that has been said of it, in prose or poetically, in the last fifty years.”—Morning Post. 3s. 6d. net
