Generals of the British Army: Portraits in Colour with Introductory and Biographical Notes
Generals -- Great Britain; World War, 1914-1918 -- Biography
"Mr. Bone's work was needed. Now that I have seen his picture
books I know more about the war. A poet with a line of verse, a
cunning draughtsman with a few strokes of the pencil on paper,
can tell you what you will never learn from Blue Books and
histories. I begin to understand this tremendous war."--The
Londoner in the _Evening News_.
"Among the drawings are some of extraordinary power and
interest made by the artist in British munition
factories."--_Westminster Gazette._
"Dozens of Artists have drawn ships. Mr. Bone has interpreted
them. He has done the Fleet a great service in bringing it thus
intimately to the Landsmen. The drawings will rank for all time
among the world's greatest treasures in nautical
art."--_Country Life._
"Will take a foremost place among the permanent records of the
war."--_Manchester Guardian._
"Mr. Bone has the eye to see, the imagination to realise, and
the hand to present."--_The Times._
