A propos de cet article

405, [1] p. Includes maps. Glossary. Occcasional footnotes. Another U.K. edition was apparently entitled "Three Men's War". Ralph Hale Mottram (October 30, 1883 April 16, 1971) was an English writer, known as a novelist, particularly for the Spanish Farm books, and as a war poet of World War I. Mottram went from being a bank clerk in Norwich, before the war, to becoming mayor there in 1953. The Spanish Farm won the 1924 Hawthornden Prize. He also wrote a biography of John Galsworthy. Eric Partridge founded The Scholartis Press in 1927 and it closed in 1931. He served the Australian infantry during the First World War, living through the horror of the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. His interest in slang and the "underside" of language is said to date from his wartime experience. Good. No dust jacket. Cover is worn and soiled. Some edge rubbing and corners bumped. Presumed first U.S. edition/first printing.
