Description
NO RESERVE [Plowman (Max)] "Mark VII". A Subaltern on the Somme in 1916, first edition, damp-stain upper edge rear endpaper, browning to endpapers, original pictorial cloth, dust-jacket, spine toned, small tear upper edge lower panel, some damp-staining, 8vo, 1927.
⁂ Scarce with dust-jacket. Regarded as a classic account of life in the trenches during World War I, Plowman evokes a deeply personal account of the Battle of the Somme, during which his own battalion in real life, the 10th West Yorkshires, suffered among the highest casualties loosing nigh on half their men in a single day. Wounded and sent home in 1917, Plowman went on to become a pacifist and conscientious objector and spent time in prison for his beliefs after the War.
