HER PRIVATES WE, By Private 19022.

This remarkable book will tell you for the first time what war really means to the ordinary soldier. Written from In less individualistic angle, than previous war-books, it shows you, the men themselves-the unknown soldiers of the war in the line and in billets, in battle and at rest; and describes their passione, and emotions in their own language. It is the profoundest, truest moring study that has ever been written of Englishmen at war, The author is already distinguished in another class of literature but prefers to hide his identity under bi unmber of his rank in the infantry.
