COCKNEY WÄR STORIES
THE BEST 500
illustrated by the great war-time artist, BERT THOMAS.
$2.15 Per Copy
In the remembering, and in the retelling, of those war days when laughter sometimes saved men's reason, Cockneys the world over have left to posterity a record of noble and imperishable achievement. The opening yarn in this work by General Sir Ian Hamilton, G.C.B., Vice-President of the British Legion, shows that, however muah methods of fighting may vary from generation to generation, there is no break in continuity of a great tradition, that the spirits of laughter and high, adventure are immortal in the make-up of the British soldier. Tommy Atkins is immortalised in these pages. Here are a few expressions gleaned from this really funny book:-
