'We congratulate Mr. Peel most heartily on his frank and manly book.
That it will obtain a very large number of readers we do not doubt, for
it is a fascinating record of service in perhaps the most interesting
body of troops that took part in the war. In his book we get war as seen
from the ranks, recorded not only by a singularly able and cultivated
man, but by one who had plenty of experience of men and cities, and one
who had a first-hand acquaintance of generals and politicians before he
went campaigning.'--_Spectator_.

'This book seems to us to be perhaps the best contribution to the
literature of the war that has yet been written. It is a plain soldierly
narrative of what the writer actually did and saw, set down in
unvarnished language, yet in English which it is a pleasure to read for
its straightforward fluency.'--_St. James's Gazette_.

'From first page to last it is a good book.'--_Pilot_.

'A most lively and amusing record.'--_Daily Express_.

'Written in a remarkably easy and interesting manner, leaving one with a
vivid impression of what campaigning under present-day conditions really
means.'--_Westminster Gazette_.
