Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1707. Bleiler (1978), p. 150.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by The Strong Oak Press with Tom Donovan Publishing, Stevenage, Herts, UK. 1988. 241 pgs. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This is the record of the service of Charles Douie during the Great War. It was originally written as a series of articles for The Nineteenth Century and After in 1928; he later added more material for its publication as a book. His memoir is along the lines of Edmund Blunden's Undertones of War, possessing high literary merit, Douie was a well educated soldier. Douie enlisted in 1914 at eighteen years of age with a desire to become a Corporal, however his family obtained him a commission; eventually he became a subaltern in the 1st Dorset Regiment of the British Army. He opens his book with an examination of the soldier of WW1, his reasons for fighting and the existence he experienced at the front. He recounts his enthusiasm for war and wanting to get to the front before it ended; pursuing this goal against the objection of his family. His battalion participated in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 of which he was apart, fighting in the La Boisselle sector and later Thiepval which decimated his battalion. He ended the war in Italy though he has little to say about this campaign, ending his story with impressions of the Armistice on him and his fellow soldiers. Overall this is an exceptional account and has been largely overlooked except by WW1 enthusiasts who consider it a classic. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
