_Crown 8vo., cloth, gilt, =6=/- net._
Mr. Coleman gives his actual experiences in the thick of the fighting
during the first four months of the War.
_A FEW SELECTED PRESS OPINIONS._
=The Times=:--"There have been many books written about the war,
but not one has told of actual fighting a tithe of what Frederic
Coleman tells us in 'From Mons to Ypres with French.' ... It is a
book which will surely live, and ought to be read."
=Daily Telegraph= (First Notice):--"Mr. Coleman's Book, intensely
interesting from cover to cover, is much more than the vivid
diary of a shrewd observer. It is a detailed history of the
military operations which governed the earlier and opening phases
of the great War in the West. The volume might well be the work
of a General Headquarters Staff Officer, permitted by some
revolutionised War Office to speak his mind."
=Punch=:--"Driving as he did a motor-car for the British
Headquarters, and in particular General de Lisle, he saw as much
fighting as any man need wish for. Even those who have overloaded
their shelves with books about the war must find a place for
'From Mons to Ypres with French.'"
=The Sphere=:--"A most absorbing narrative of war experiences.
Again and again Mr. Coleman pours out his admiration for the
British Army and expresses his pride at being able to serve
with them.... The book is a perfectly unpretentious record of
the author's personal services and adventures, and contains
much careful description of military events and at times sound
criticism."
=Dally Chronicle=:--"The book is so full of detail, so careful
in explaining military events, that while it will be read with
interest now, it should not be overlooked when the time comes
for writing an authoritative history of the British campaign in
Flanders and France."
=Morning Post=:--"'From Mons to Ypres' is written throughout
in language without literary frills of any kind, and is the
liveliest chronicle which has yet been published of our glorious
soldiers.... The book is full of authentic humour and high
spirits, and everybody should read it."
