This copy is from the library of Marie Brooks whose father W.M. Brooks served in the 48th Battalion in WWI. It is also inscribed to her from Deirdre Fraser: "In fond memory of our fathers April 1985". I believe this is Donald Fraser's daughter. Mrs. Brooks has made a notation on one page that Armagh Wood was possibly where her father was wounded. Light bumps to top corners and top of rear board, minor soiling to foredge. Jacket has some tiny tears and edgewear, tape (for no apparent reason) on rear panel. Very Good/Very Good.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada: Sono Nis Press, 1985. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 334 pages. Index. Maps. Black and white photographic plates. "... A rare gem. I have been actively hunting for this sort of record and have come to realize just how rare such accounts are. This one also touches all the points an historian would wish to mention, from the attitudes of officers to frustration with the Ross rifle. One can only wonder how the journal survived and how it was composed." - Professor Desmond Morton, from dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Would be graded very good if not for the fact that some rain appears to have fallen upon half-title and title pages (only) resulting in modest undulating. Average wear to dust jacket. A sound copy..
