THREE CHEVRONS. By "OREX" (MAJOR H. F. BIDDER, D.S.O.) Crown 8vo. 5/- net.
An absolutely authentic, cool record of what the author saw on the Flanders front from Christmas, 1914, to June, 1917. It contains the experiences of a clear-sighted conscientious officer who keeps as close as possible to fact and maintains his detached judicial point of view. A book which both the military man and public generally will appreciate for its freshness and candour.
"_'Orex' has made a singularly successful contribution to war literature by the direct method of honesty, modesty and simplicity. His book is a pleasant surprise.... He expresses it all in an individuality of great charm, the charm of literary unconsciousness and quiet restraint.... In every respect a good book._"--_Daily News._
"_Simply and attractively written, and quite worth its place in the ON ACTIVE SERVICE Series._"--_Times._

THE SILENCE OF COLONEL BRAMBLE. By ANDRE MAUROIS. Translated from the French. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 5/- net.
This remarkably amusing account of an English regimental mess by a French officer who was attached as an interpreter, has had an immense vogue in France, and its appeal to English readers will without doubt be equally wide.
"_Those who do not already know the book in French, will lose nothing of its charm in English form.... The humours of the mess room are inimitable.... The whole thing is real, alive, sympathetic. There is not a false touch in all its delicate glancing wit._"--_Daily Telegraph._
"_An excellent translation.... A gay and daring translation.... I laughed over its audacious humour._"--_JAMES DOUGLAS in The Star._
FIELD AMBULANCE SKETCHES. By a Corporal. Crown 8vo. 4/- net.
These sketches by a stretcher-bearer are extraordinarily clear and actual. "Behind a Raid" is a wonderfully vivid piece of work; the reader lives every second of these thrilling hours, and the whole scene is touched in masterly style. The other pages are equally fine. To the civilian they bring home the actualities of War; while soldiers of every class will enjoy them in their fine truthfulness.
