About this book

H. M. Tomlinson begins his collection in Ypres in July 1915, sitting among the ruins while shells fall, until a soldier in khaki warns him to take cover in a dug-out near by.

The thirty-three short pieces that follow have titles such as A Raid Night, News from the Front, Carlyle, Ruskin, Kipling, Sailor Language, Figure-heads and The South Downs. His earlier books include The Sea and the Jungle and London River. This edition was published in New York in 1922 in a numbered limited printing.
