Quartered Safe Out Here. A Recollection of the War in Burma. (SIGNED)

Descripción

First Edition (first printing). This copy signed by the author by way of a title-specific bookplate pasted to the title page. 8vo. xxii, 225pp plus a two-page glossary. Red boards lettered in gold at the spine. Illustrated with one map. A trace of very light spotting to the edges, else a fine copy in fine non-price-clipped dust wrapper. A private's-eye-view of the Battle of Meiktila, which largely destroyed the Japanese armies in Central Burma. Fraser, then nineteen years old, served with Nine Section "a small group of hard-bitten and (to modern eyes) possibly eccentric Cumbrian borderers". Curiously uncommon in this first edition state, and here nicely enhanced by the author's full signature. N° de ref. del artículo SPE90355
