A second printing, with two autograph letters from Cushing to Gosse mounted at the rear.

[Baynes-Jones]. Dr. Philip Gosse was an English medical doctor, and then naturalist and author, the son of critic Edmund Gosse. Gosse had been a friend of Siegfried Sassoon, and penned a well received memoir of his own of the Great War, Memoirs of a Camp Follower," called by the Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, "a most unusual war book; every chapter is interesting and most contain many amusing episodes... he has forgotten most of the 'horrors' of the War and remembers the beasts and birds" Cushing's Journal documents his experiences during the war, also with a literary eye, but as the New York Times noted, "Gruesome and full of shadows as this journal is, it has its glorious lights in the things of beauty and the deeds of sacrifice and bravery that illumine it" (Finley, John, "Dr Cushing's Diary of Lights and Shadows in the War," May 24, 1936).
