Verdun to the Vosges: Impressions of the War on the Fortress Frontier of France
Campbell, Gerald
World War, 1914-1918 -- Personal narratives
Mr. Noel Ross was wounded in the historic landing on Gallipoli after
having taken part in the fight against the Turks on the Suez Canal.
Discharged as unfit for further service, he again enlisted in England,
passed a course at Shoeburyness, and received a commission in the
Artillery. As a result of continued trouble from shell shock he had to
relinquish his commission. After a few weeks he was taken on the staff
of _The Times_, for which journal he has done, and is still doing,
brilliant work. He is also a contributor to _Punch_.
A FRENCH MOTHER IN
WAR TIME.
By MADAME E. DRUMONT.
Translated by MISS G. BEVIR.
_Crown 8vo._ _Cloth._ =3s. 6d. net.=
The writer of this frank and simple narrative is the wife of the famous
anti-Semite, but the young airman son, to whom she is devotedly
attached, is the child of a first marriage. The volume consists of her
diary from July, 1914, to August, 1915. This anxious French mother makes
no attempt to represent herself as more heroic than she was or is, and
her honesty gives a special value to her picture of the central and
really fine figure in the book—that of her son Paul, many of whose
letters to her during the war are here given. Among other interesting
passages in the book is a description of the scene at the Paris Cabinet
Council, when General Gallieni was asked by the Ministry if he would
defend Paris.
A YEAR AGO.
BEING “EYE-WITNESS’S” NARRATIVE OF THE WAR
FROM MARCH 30TH TO JULY 18TH, 1915.
By LIEUT.-COL. E. D. SWINTON, D.S.O., R.E.,
and CAPT. THE EARL PERCY.
_Paper Covers_, =2s. net.= _Cloth_, =2s. 6d. net.=
This volume contains the conclusion of the famous “Eye-Witness’s”
Narrative from the front, which has now been discontinued. It is
reprinted in full from the reports issued by the Press Bureau, and has
not hitherto been accessible in a consecutive and complete form. Taken
in conjunction with the previous volume published last year by Mr.
Edward Arnold, this instalment of “Eye-Witness’s” Narrative provides the
most valuable current commentary on the events of the war in Flanders
which has yet appeared. As time goes on, its accurate and graphic story
of the fighting will inevitably be appealed to as the most reliable
evidence of what actually occurred whenever diverse theories are at
issue.
THE MOTOR-CAR.
WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO DRIVE IT.
By T. O. A. LAWTON and PROF. R. J. HARVEY GIBSON.
_Limp cloth_, =1s. net.=
