First American Edition (first printing), issued the same month as the English edition. 8vo. 310pp. Beige cloth lettered in red at the spine, and with a red-stamped vignette to the upper board and the publisher's red top edge stain. With a title-page decoration. A trace of bruising to the backstrip ends. Contemporary former owner name and date inked to the head of the front pastedown (and obscured by the wrapper flap). A very good copy in price-clipped dust wrapper designed by Richard Floethe, and which repeats the title page design. The wrapper is fair only, with several inches of loss from the base of the spine panel, further small areas of edge-loss, some chafing to the natural folds, and some tenderness to the flaps. The author's second book, memoirs of his pre-Great War service in India with the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Like his celebrated first book, 'Old Soldiers Never Die' (1933), the text was thoroughly edited by his fellow Royal Welch Fusilier Robert Graves, who also provides a ten-page introduction to the US edition to introduce the author to American readers (up to that point, his debut had not been published in the US).
