J. Grindley to foot of endpaper, original cloth, shelf-lean, crease to spine, extremities rubbed, Ivor Nicholson & Watson, 1933; and an archive of material relating to Chapman, comprising his army book with records of service, his commission, a letter from the War Office and numerous photograph of Chapman from the period of the war and earlier, v.s. (sm.qty)⁂ A remarkable copy of this rare memoir, inscribed by the author and signed by 26 men who presumably also served in the Royal Fusiliers along with an interesting archive including Chapman's record of service with ribbons and notes on dates of major battles. Guy Chapman (1889-1972) trained as a lawyer but enlisted with the Royal Fusilier at the outbreak of the First World War. He was badly injured in a mustard gas attack in 1917 but returned to the front until the Armistice in 1918. His memoir is often esteemed as one of the most insightful to come from the war and we are unable to trace other examples of the first edition, let alone one with such excellent inscriptions.
