Prester John By John Buchan, no publication date so I am assuming this is the first edition - 376 pages, hardcover, no dustjacket - please take note of the pages scanned as the very first page, blank, has the bottom half torn off - the third page has what looks like a pencilled game of noughts & crosses & an inscription, ex library book dated , there are age spots, some pages worse than others - also note a few pages coming away from the spine - that all said all pages are intact & are quite readable & in quite good condition for a book over 100 years old.

The great thriller writer and statesman John Buchan, author of The 39 Steps and other classics wrote this official history of the South African Forces in France as a homage to a country he had come to know and love as a British administrator after the Boer War. The South African brigade, raised from South African and Rhodesian regiments were sent to Egypt in 1915; and arrived in France the following year where they were attached to the 9th Scottish Division. They saw hard fighting during the Somme Offensive Ð particularly the bitter battles in and around Delville Wood and the Butte de Warlencourt. In 1917 they were in action at Arras and Cambrai; and in 1918 took part in resisting the German Spring offensives on the River Lys, and the Allied counter-offensives which culminated in the Armistice. The work of a great writer, this history is illustrated with photos & maps.
