First Edition (first printing). Small 8vo. 39pp. Green cloth, gilt lettered and decorated at the upper board with a blind-stamped border. With a tissue-protected portrait frontispiece reproducing the upper board design, accompanied by a two-line quotation from Kipling. The spine ends a little rubbed and with several tiny areas of wear to the backstrip. Endpapers browned and with a former owner pencilled name. A very good copy of a scarce collection of Great War verse. Twelve poems, including a two-page verse dedication. Dawnay fought during the Second Boer War and later during the Gallipoli Campaign before being transferred to the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, where he befriended T.E.Lawrence. In October 1920 Dawnay established 'Army Quarterly', a journal which he also edited, and Lawrence proffered his essay 'Evolution of a Revolt' (later included in 'Oriental Assembly') to help the launch (it appeared in the inaugural issue).
