Paperback. Condición: Very Good. It is 1915 and the Great War has been raging for a year, when Edward Rowbotham, a coal miner from the Midlands, volunteers for Kitcheners Army. Drafted into the newly-formed Machine Gun Corps, he is sent to fight in places whose names will forever be associated with mud and blood and sacrifice: Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele. He is one of the lucky ones, winning the Military Medal for bravery and surviving more than two-and-a-half years of the terrible slaughter that left nearly a million British soldiers dead by 1918 and wiped out all but six of his original company. He wrote these memoirs fifty years later, but found his memories of life in the trenches had not diminished at all. The sights and sounds of battle, the excitement, the terror, the extraordinary comradeship, are all vividly described as if they had happened to him only yesterday. Likely to be one of the last first-hand accounts to come to light, Mud, Blood and Bullets offers a rare perspective of the First World War from an ordinary soldiers viewpoint. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

A collection of 9 books from the estate of Bill and Tom Owen. Including: Bill Owen's copies of his own plays, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and Party for Jeremy, both with quite extensive pencil alterations and corrections in his hand, a copy of Owen's 'The Ragged School' inscribed by Bill in ink to the title page: "To you both Love Dad.", the recipient presumably his son, Tom. There is also an unjacketed first edition of William Inge's Come Back Little Sheba with Bill Owen's name and address neatly written in ink to the front endpaper, and heavily marked up working copies of plays he performed in: Edward Albee's 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf', Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' and a collection of Seven Plays by Eugene O'Neill, several marked up and with some loosely inserted notes. There is also Tom Owen's marked up copy of Terence Rattigan's 'The Browning Version' and a copy of O'Neill's 'The Iceman Cometh' with a loosely inserted postcard to Bill dated July 1979 from someone at the National Theatre. Condition varies, but on the whole the books are well worn with plenty of signs of hard practical use, toning, creasing, rubbing and staining etc, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists has lost its rear cover and the front cover is detached. A fascinating insight into Bill Owen's working life as a playwright and actor prior to achieving wider fame in his long-running role of Compo in Last of the Summer Wine, much of it indicative of his firmly left-wing political views and working class background.
