Green coloured cloth covered boards with black coloured decoration to the edge of the front panel and back strip, with black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. A novel of the First World War as seen by young men. The first part being their school years (being lauded as happy); then on to the second part about the first excitement of enlisting in the army, and, then the brutal reality of trench warfare takes over the book.
