Zustand: New. 2001. SB. N & M reprint (original pub 1919). viii + 331ppPublished Price £11.95 Quex, the pseudonym used by G.H.F Nichols, was also the author of the History of the 18th (Eastern) Division, one of Kitchener's Second New Army divisions and one of the best in the BEF. This book is the story of one of the field artillery brigades of that division, the 82nd Brigade, from the German March 1918 offensive through to the end of the war. It is dedicated to the commanding officer, Lt Col A.Thorp, who was killed in the village of Beausies just before the end, on 30th October, and is buried in Le Cateau Military Cemetery. The account of the death of this well-loved officer brings the book to a close.Nichols was a journalist before the war and he gives an entertaining account of life with the guns in what was above all a war of the guns. He had been wounded in August 1917 near Zillibeke serving with the 82nd Brigade and rejoined shortly before the Germans attacked. His division was in III Corps on the right of Fifth Army, near St Quentin, right in the face of the German onslaught and this well written story tells of experiences of a field artillery brigade in the retreat, right back to the gates of Amiens, and then the return push, launched on 8th August 1918. It takes us right through to that fateful day when his CO was killed. Book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Good to very good, blue cloth boards faded to spine with black titles to front and spine, some light wear to top and bottom of spine and rubbed to corners, Previous owners name to front end paper otherwise very clean throughout. This book received literary acclaim (ranking it with All Quiet on the Western Front) when first published in 1919, it describes in a detailed narrative the German offensive of 1918 and the return "Push" later in the year leading up to the battle of Amiens and the end of the First World War. The detail is very precise and clearly taken from the authors personal records written at the time. The narrative is provided from an Officer's perspective and as such a lot of his "concerns" are to do with getting a comfortable bed, not missing lunch, will there be wine etc, rather than the atrocious conditions that his men had to endure, in their hastily dug trenches and bolt holes. The book remains interesting and worth reading from a historical viewpoint as it highlights the attitude of the Officer Class and all that was wrong with it in the First World War, rather than the horrors of War that were written about in later works by ordinary soldiers who actually did the day to day fighting.…
