Beschreibung

First edition, number 3 of just twenty numbered copies on pur fil Outhenin Chalandre paper (from a total edition of 70 copies). 8vo. 278pp. Card wrappers lettered in red and black. A touch of tanning to the wrappers, and a little rubbing and creasing to some of the untrimmed fore edges. A very good copy of this biography of Lord Thomson, followed by 'Smaranda', his 113-page wartime journal. Thomson first served at the British Expeditionary Force Headquarters, acting as the Chief Military Interpreter between Sir John French and General Joffre. He later served as Commander Royal Engineers (CRE) of 60th (2/2nd London) Division in Palestine, distinguishing himself at the Capture of Jericho. He was killed on the maiden flight of the R101 airship in 1930 along with forty-seven other passengers (the accident a result of pressure put on by Thomson to make the flight before safety checks were complete).
