With a biographical introduction by E. M. Smith-Dampier. 8vo; original olive-green cloth, blocked in blind on upper board, and in gilt on spine; pp. 185 + (vii) + 23; two plates. Ex-library copy, with label, pocket and hand-stamps to front endpaper, and code at verso of title page; some hand-stamps to recto of frontis., and elsewhere; cloth a little mottled and worn; usual browning throughout, owing to paper stock used. Fair to good. Published a few months after his death in action, this compilation of a parliamentarian's articles written from the Front is rather uncommon, other than as a modern reprint. 'The articles which make up the bulk of this book were contributed to the Daily Chronicle under a pseudonym. I have read with real pleasure the Introduction written by Miss Smith-Dampier, which shows a sympathetic understanding of my husband's nature and brings out vividly his personality.' - Eleanor Redmond. 'Other Members of Parliament before Willie Redmond - some ten or eleven - had died for their country in the war, yet not one of these deaths was felt as deeply as his in both Houses. "If Willie could come back," said his widow to me, "he would be so surprised, he would wonder what all the fuss was about." It is in these words that we find the key to the secret. The single eye - utter unselfconsciousness - this is what makes Willie Redmond a typical figure. A thousand men bleed and die; only by a rare combination of qualities does an individual stand out as their spiritual representative, summing up in one hero-figure their finest valour, their most unselfish aims. And this romantic, impetuous Irishman combined them all.' - Introduction.

2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1917). SB. 185ppPublished Price £11.50 This is much more than a run-of-the mill account of an officerâ s life in the trenches of the Great War. The author of these sketches, Major â Willieâ Redmond, (1861-1917) was a well-known moderate Irish nationalist politician, the brother of John Redmond, leader of the Irish party at Westminster before and during the war. â Willieâ Redmond was himself a nationalist MP, but at the outbreak of the war, although well over military age, he took the view that the war was a fight for all small oppressed nations, and that Irishmen should not stand apart from the struggle. The deaths of women and children in German Zeppelin raids seems to have been the final spur that impelled him to don a British uniform. In his own words â If the Germans come here .they will be our masters, and we at their mercy. What that mercy is likely to be, judge by the mercy shown to Belgiumâ . Redmond helped found the Irish Division and arrived at the front in the winter of 1915. He saw service on the Somme. He continued to speaks in debates in the Commons while serving at the front. One of his favourite themes - and the subject of a chapter in this book - was the brotherhood forged in the trenches between the politcally divided Protestants of Northern ireland and his fellow Catholics from the south. Ironically, it was Protestant stretcher-bearers who brought the severely wounded Redmond in from the battlefield of Messines to the dressing station where he died of his wounds in June 1917 at the opening of the successful British offensive. Much mourned by Irish people of all political and religious beliefs, Redmond left a legacy of political tolerance and self-sacrifice. These sketches, first published in the â Daily Chronicleâ , cover such subjects as religion in the trenches, the capture of Ginchy on the Somme, No-Manâ d Land and pets in the trenches. It is illustrated by photographs of the author in uniform and as a young politician. Will interest not only those keen on Great War literature, but also all students of Irish history.
