Kitchener s Army, without any thought or intention of their publication. No attempt has been made to edit, alter or revise them, and except for the omission of a few sentences, mainly of purely personal interest, they are printed in the form in which they were received. Such merit as they may possess lies in the fact that they are, what they appear to be, hurriedly noted records of thoughts and impressions written from various parts of France from the Base, Rest Billets, Reserve Line, Front Line, Casualty Clearing Station and Hospital. The period extends over the summer and ;autumn of 1917. The precise dates of the letters are omitted. The title of the book is taken from a rondeau by Lieut. F. W. Harvey of the Gloucestershire Regiment. At the date of publication the author was still on active service abroad, and had no opportunity of revising the proofs.
