"'Bill,' 'Bert,' and 'Alf' have turned up again. Captain Bairnsfather
has written a book--a rollicking and yet serious book--about himself
and them, describing the joys and sorrows of his first six months in
the trenches. His writing is like his drawing. It suggests a masculine,
reckless, devil-may-care character and a workmanlike soldier.
Throughout the book he is as cheerful as a schoolboy in a disagreeable
football match."--_London Evening News._

Transcriber's Note:
Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note. Other
errors are noted below.
- Changed typo on pg. 2: "out" > "our" ("with out regimental
hound pacing in front")
- Removed extraneous comma pg. 23 ("opposite, our Battalion
Headquarters.")
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Word combinations that appeared with and without hyphens were changed
to the predominant form if it could be determined, or to the hyphenated
form if it could not.
Italicized words are surrounded by underline characters,
_like this_. Words in bold characters are surrounded by equal signs,
=like this=. Underlined text in advertisements not marked up.
