Sherston in the trenches

SASSOON, Siegfried. Memoirs of an Infantry Officer. London: Faber & Faber. 1931.

8vo. Original cloth with decorations by Barnett Freedman, pictorial endpapers, with frontis and an additional 15 coloured illustrations within the text by Barnett Freedman; pp. 310, [2]; previous owner's inscription to flyleaf, very good.

First edition with Barnett Freedman's illustrations.

Memoirs of an Infantry Officer was one of Barnett Freedman's first major commissions for Faber and Faber, though he would go on to be quite prolific, designing dozens of covers for editions of Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte and Leo Tolstoy. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was appointed as an Official War Artist, and travelled with the British Expeditionary Force in France alongside Edward Ardizzone and Edward Bawden, whose influences are evident in his designs. In June 1944 he travelled to France to record the aftermath of the D-Day Landings.

The narrative of Sassoon's second work in the Sherston trilogy is, like its predecessor, a fictionalised account of Sassoon's life during and immediately after the First World War. Sherston, the protagonist, is wounded when a piece of shrapnel passes through his lung after he incautiously sticks his head over the parapet at the Battle of Arras in 1917. Sassoon later wrote that Sherston "is but one insignificant person caught up in events beyond anyone's comprehension".

Harman, 2001.

Perfect comfy on the go or everyday wear! Preschool?
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
Sounds silly but these Amazon essentials shirts are better than some other name brands. I bought same brand for myself. These shirts have been camping, dirty, and stains come out, they keep their shape and their color. I absolutely love them. Moms & Dads, if you want inexpensive and still decent shirts I recommend these. They come in a 3 pack, there’s no itchy tag, they are loose fitting, they don’t shrink, and the colors are true to picture.

Perfect
Fits perfectly. True to size. Good quality and lasts long. I love how long they are, it’s not too long but they have added length to the bottom a little bit which makes it nice for toddlers. Will buy again. Worth every penny. Color choices are great.

Great quality, so soft, love this brand!
These do run big so order the size your child is currently in or a size down, it runs bigger than a lot of his other shirts in this size. The fabric is very soft and well made. I love the way they feel. I washed and dried them and they still look brand new like they did when they came out of the package and no noticeable shrinkage. No wrinkles either. These aren't lightweight, so they're great for spring and fall and even winter. This is one of my favorite kid brands now because the quality is always on par for the price.

Toddler tops!
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
These are great quality, my daughter is too but she is tall so we needed long fitting shirts. These tops fit well and appearance is long on her tall torso. The thickness of this shirt perfect for in between spring and summer. It is very comfortable and cute without being ugly! She is able to perform all her toddler shenanigans in these shirts too!
