Dealer Notes

A notable edition of Blunden’s important war memoir, not only for its resonance in respect of the author’s association with Japan (from where the original work’s ‘Preliminary’ was written, Blunden then, in 1924, a Professor of English at the University of Tokyo), but for the presence of a new 7pp. Introduction by Blunden (by this stage a tutor at Merton College, Oxford) written in the form of a letter to his erstwhile colleague Takeshi Saito and including a new illustrtation in the form of his sketch of the Trenches described.
