Victoria Cross; World War, 1914-1918 -- Canada
Illustrated with 32 plates in full colour and monotone, from drawings
made just before the War. This book of rare beauty, like its companion

the vanished glories of this region of France. Only a limited number
available.
Marshal Foch and his Theory of Modern War =CAPTAIN A. HILLIARD
ATTERIDGE=
=5s.= Author of "Muret," "Marshal Ney," "Famous Modern Battles,"
"Towards Khartoum," etc.
A book of paramount importance, not only for all military men but the
general public, who here, for the first time, see the great French
Field-Marshal as a man and a soldier.
A book giving an intimate biographical sketch of the man whose genius
may be said to have saved France and Europe at a critical moment;
containing a full and clear _exposé_ of the theory and practice of
strategy, based on Marshal Foch's own books, and on his operations in
the present war. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this
book, written in a graphic and delightful style, by this well-known
expert on military matters and history, the man who was present
throughout Kitchener's Soudan Campaign.
Three Years with the New Zealanders =6s.= =LT.-COL. WESTON, D.S.O.=
With 3 maps and many illustrations.
A narrative of absorbing interest from a military and human point of
view, giving a vivid account of New Zealand's share in the Great War, at
Gallipoli and in France, and full of interesting and illuminating
observations on the nature of the New Zealander and the people of the
Home Country.
Thirty Canadian V.C.s Cloth =2s. 6d. net.= =CAPTAIN T. G. D. ROBERTS=
A long, authoritative and spirited account in detail of the actions
which have gained for Canada thirty V.C.s in the Great War. Capt.
Roberts has had access to the official records, and gives a great many
entirely new and interesting facts.
Order of St. John of Jerusalem Past and Present =Illustrated.=
=5s. net.= =ROSE G. KINGSLEY=
An illustrated and authoritative account of the Order of the
Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, from the earliest time to the
present day. It traces its history from the early body of military monks
under whose auspices a hospital and a church were founded in Jerusalem;
follows them to the island of Rhodes, tells of their troubles there
(through the seizure of the island by the Turks), and their subsequent
possession of the Island of Malta, the government of which they
administered until it was occupied by Napoleon in 1798; and finally ends
with the work by members of the Order during the present war.
The Prisoner of War in Germany =DANIEL J. MCCARTHY, A.B., M.B.=
=12s. 6d. net.=
An intensely interesting and deeply moving book by the representative of
the American Embassy in Berlin during 1916.
=Ambassador Gerard= says: "I cannot praise too highly Dr. McCarthy's
book.... The better treatment of prisoners is largely owing to his
work...." A true book that will bring a comforting message to many a
British home.
