"_A cheery, chatty chronicle. The author has a keen eye for the humour of circumstance and a most beguiling way._"--_Morning Post._
"_Bright and exhilarating. It is sure to be read widely._"--_Scotsman._

THE BOY WITH THE GUNS. By the late LIEUT. G. W. TAYLOR. Edited by his sister MRS. ROGER COOKSON. With an introduction by SIR JAMES CRICHTON-BROWNE. With Illustrations and Maps. Crown 8vo. 5/- net.
This is a vividly realistic account of the work done and hardships endured by our Royal Field Artillery in the war, and of their "hair-breadth 'scapes in the imminent deadly breach" in France and Flanders, by one who went through them all and made the supreme sacrifice.
PUSHING WATER. By R.N.V. (LIEUT. ERIC DAWSON.) Crown 8vo. 4/- net.
"Pushing Water" reveals a phase of warfare of which the world knows little or nothing. It is the story of the "Movy" of submarine-hunting and mine sweeping in perilous seas, of duties faithfully accomplished, without expectation of fame or reward. As a sidelight on a branch of the Navy's activities it has a good deal of interest, but the book would recommend itself on the score of its quiet humour and abundant anecdote alone.
"_This entertaining book ... a vivid picture of existence on a 'Movy.'_"--_Sunday Times._
"_Described with real humour ... decidedly interesting._"--_Birmingham Post._
A HANDFUL OF AUSSEYS. By C. HAMPTON THORP, A.I.F., with a foreword by General Sir William Birdwood, K.C.B., K.C.S.I., K.C.M.G., etc., and an Introductory Poem by Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate. With Illustrations by James F. Scott. Crown 8vo. 7/- net.
"A Handful of Ausseys" is the only book from the pen of an Australian soldier which deals intimately with the troopship voyage between the Commonwealth and England, and the more detailed side of the Soldier's life in England before he goes across the Channel.
"_Well justifies its place among war books, for it is well written, graphic and amusing, and full of facts and anecdotes.... The illustrations are rather telling and rather original._"--_Times._
"_Among the good war pictures of the present war, the description of this draft's moving up to the firing line deserves to find a pleasant place._"--_Bookman._
