An anthology of quotations, poems and prose edited by Captain Eric Wheler Bush, DSO, DSC. Literary riches, known and unknown, are marshalled as never before, from Cromwell to Churchill through the battles of Marlborough, Wolfe, Abercromby and Wellington, to the Afghan and Crimean Wars, the Indian Mutiny, the Xhina, Zulu and Boer Wars and the two World Wars. The feats of the British Army, its leaders and its men are celebrated in verse and prose. This copy is inscribed by the author with a dedication to Lt. general Sir Reginald Savory, Brigade Commander at Sidi Barrani and Keren, 23rd Indian Division 1942-1947. In addition there is a tipped in letter dated 21st July, 1967 to General Savory, also in the author's hand. A collectible copy in good condition (with some browning to the page edges). The dust wrapper is protected in a plastic sleeve.
