Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from To Verdun From the Somme: An Anglo American Glimpse of the Great Advance
Nevertheless it gives me great pleasure to comply with the publisher's request, as it gives me an opportunity to express my deep appreciation of the many courtesies which I received in England and France on the occasion of my little journey to Mars, which Mr. Brittain's book records, and especially to express the Obligation under which I am to him for the admirable arrangements which he made for my trip to England and France.
The subtle Disraeli was wont to say to those who sent him a book, that he was lying under a sense of obligation for the gift, but I am more fortunate in being able to express with entire sincerity an appreciation too deep for words of the abundant kindness which was shown to me by men of all classes in England and France.
