Cream cloth boards with red pictorial cover illustration and red titles to spine. Corners lightly bumped. First 2 end papers lightly tanned. Very familiar inscription to first end paper "To dear Rae from Lou Somme April 19th 1918" with matching offsetting to half title page. All plates present - one plate loose on page 94 with small amount of damage to the edge. The Second Battle of the Somme of 1918 was fought during the First World War on the Western Front from late March to early April, in the basin of the River Somme. It was part of a series of successful counter-offensives in response to the German Spring Offensive, after a pause for redeployment and supply. This is a poignant reminder of the battle as Lou was most likely on the Somme sending his wife Rae in Australia this recently published book about his divisions exploits and as such it was kept in almost perfect condition.
