"Prince Rupert, the western terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, is a distributing centre for the Skeena River and the Omineca Mining Divisions. It is the natural starting point ... because it is the seat of Government Agency for that section of British Columbia, as well as being the ocean terminus of the transcontinental railway. Starting at Prince Rupert examinations were made east as far as Lorne Creek, a distance 130 miles by railroad" - from page 5.

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, on hand-made paper; original brown buckram, gilt tops, uncut, marbled endpapers, a very good, bright, clean copy in archival film wrappers [wrappers not shown in image]. EDITION LIMITED TO 520 COPIES. Bright, crisp copy of Frederic Manning's masterpiece, published anonymously (as was the expurgated version 'Her Privates We' a year later). The frankness and detail of the story was praised by many of those who shared Manning's front line experiences (including Lawrence and Sassoon) and the work as a whole found favour with men of letters, among them Hemingway and Bennett. Today the work is recognised as the finest novel to emerge from the Great War, and one of the very finest in the literature of warfare. 'No praise could be too sheer for this book' (T.E. Lawrence).
8vo., First Edition, with fine portrait frontispiece and 65 plates and maps (a number full-page) on 39; handsomely bound in full dark green crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. One of the key military memoirs of the twentieth century, this is as much an autobiography as a soldier's account of war. Written entirely by 'Monty' himself (in pencil, as so many of his official communications were composed), this characteristically straightforward (and often politically outspoken) account covers boyhood, early service with the Warwickshires, WWII and beyond (notably, about a third of the work covers his post-war career as CIGS and after). For technical military detail we look to the author's other works; here we find the simple account of a 'soldier who kept the faith'. A great read from one of the unforgettable leaders of his times. Baxter 268; Enser, p.277.
