Minor shelf wera and a little light soiling to text block edges. Feels unread and is very clean internally. Dust jacket: very good. Unclipped. Light edge wear and some slight discolouration to inner surfaces of jacket. Includes many previously unpublished photographs, showing veterans as lads keen to enlist, as soldiers on the Western Front, and as old men, enjoying each other's company at reunions and sharing their memories. This book is its author's personal tribute to the men who served, whose good nature, independence of mind and amazing adaptability to the modern world help us to see them not just as heroes but as greatly respected friends.
