TROOPER 8,008 I.Y.

By the Hon. SIDNEY PEEL,
BARRISTER-AT-LAW.

With 16 Illustrations from Photographs, and a Map, demy 8vo., 7s. 6d.

SIXTH IMPRESSION.

’We congratulate Mr. Peel most heartily on his frank and manly book.  That it will obtain a very large number of readers we do not doubt, for it is a fascinating record of service in perhaps the most interesting body of troops that took part in the war.  In his book we get war as seen from the ranks, recorded not only by a singularly able and cultivated man, but by one who had plenty of experience of men and cities, and one who had a first-hand acquaintance of generals and politicians before he went campaigning.’—­Spectator.

’This book seems to us to be perhaps the best contribution to the literature of the war that has yet been written.  It is a plain soldierly narrative of what the writer actually did and saw, set down in unvarnished language, yet in English which it is a pleasure to read for its straightforward fluency.’—­St. James’s Gazette.

’From first page to last it is a good book.’—­Pilot.

’A most lively and amusing record.’—­Daily Express.

’Written in a remarkably easy and interesting manner, leaving one with a vivid impression of what campaigning under present-day conditions really means.’—­Westminster Gazette.
