SOCIAL LIFE IN THE BRITISH ARMY
By Capt. W. E. Cairnes. Author of "An Absent-Minded War." Crown 8vo,
special cover design, 6s. With 16 full-page Illustrations on art paper
by R. Caton Woodville.
[_Third Edition._
Pall Mall Gazette.--"Brightly written by the Military expert of the
_Westminster Gazette_, and neatly illustrated by Mr. Caton Woodville;
this is a most interesting and instructive volume. It is just what was
wanted now that the question of the cost of life in the Army and the
impossibility for an officer of living upon his pay has been brought
into such prominence. The question is emphatically one of those which
must not be allowed to slip away again should a long peace follow on
the present war, as questions have a way of doing. "A British Officer"
makes some very shrewd points in the matter. He performs a useful
service in clearing the ground of vulgar exaggerations, the French and
Russian myths of the British Officer's wild luxuriousness, the
agitator's "gilded popinjay" superficialities, the duties and
recreations of the officer, sketches life at Sandhurst and the Staff
College, and devotes a chapter to Tommy and to Mrs. Tommy in the
married quarters."
Army and Navy Gazette.--"No volume has appeared dealing so thoroughly
and so competently with the inner life of the Army. It is not merely
descriptive, but will be welcomed by all those who contemplate putting
their sons in the Service, for they will realise better than otherwise
they might do what the conditions of military life are."
AUSTRALIA AT THE FRONT
A COLONIAL VIEW OF THE GREAT BOER WAR
By Frank Wilkinson (Special Correspondent of the _Sydney Daily
Telegraph_). With Portrait, Map, and 20 Illustrations on art paper by
Norman H. Hardy from Sketches on the spot, and Photos by the Author.
Crown 8vo, special cover design, 6s.
[_Second Edition._
The Times.--"Mr. Wilkinson's book is uniformly interesting, and has a
direct bearing upon one of the great lessons of the war."
The Daily Mail.--"It may safely be said that no war correspondent's
work is more deserving of attention than Mr. Frank Wilkinson's. He
gives facts in a bright, humorous, unaffected way, and some of these
facts require careful study by the nation. This is certainly a book
to be read and studied. It is convincing in its moderation and
truthfulness, excellently illustrated, and furnished with a good map."
The Daily News.--"We think we have never read a war correspondent's
story on which scrupulous honesty was more clearly written. It is a
book which deserves to be read by any student of the war, and will
certainly be welcomed by all Australians who shared in the campaign."
The Athenæum.--"The book should be studied by all those who have the
condition of our Army at heart."
