First edition of Life Amongst the Sandbags by Hugo Morgan in the original publisher's pictorial paper covered boards. A scarce work with only three copies held in libraries. A first hand account of the personal experiences of active service, published as part of Hodder and Stoughton's 'The Soldier Books' series which was one of the earliest attempts to do so. Hugo Morgan was likely a pseudonym as there are limited records of anyone using this name from the infantry.  In the original publisher's paper covered boards.
