First edition, inscribed by the author to the half title. Dinesen was the younger brother of Karen Blixen (or Isak Dinesen), the author of Out of Africa . Indeed, for several years he was with his sister in Africa, helping on her coffee plantation - it was he who established the roastery there. After the outbreak of war, Dinesen volunteered to serve with the British, French, and Americans, who - however - would only take their own citizens. He eventually was able to enlist with the Canadians, and went on to be one of only two Danes to receive the Victoria Cross for gallantry, Britain's highest military honour, in the First World War for "accounting for twelve of the enemy with bomb and bayonet". He also received the Croix de Guerre. This is the story of his War in his own words. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR to Count Guido Viola di Campalto. Campalto was a Venetian-born Italian career diplomat. From 6th Feb 1927 to 25 June 1931,he was the Italian ambassador in Copenhagen. He later served in Serbia and Spain.
