About This Item
Barnsley, South Yorkshire.: Leo Cooper, 2001. VG+/VG. First edition, first printing in d/w not price clipped. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, BRIAN HARDING, without dedication or inscription on half-title page. Profusely illustrated with photographs and line-drawings. The history of a remarkable and uniquely British institution. For both the survivors of the Great War and the families of those who fell, the 'land fit for heroes' was a cruel illusion; instead many suffered terribly. Inspired by a private soldier and a field marshal, the British Legion was born to lead the fight for justice and support on behalf of the ex-service community. As the book reveals, the Legion's achievements go far beyond the famous Poppy Day Appeal and its insistence on the preservation of the Annual Act of Remembrance. With Appendixes, Bibliography and Index. Some light bruising to corners; d/w has small loss to head of spine; else a very good plus copy, in a very good d/w, of a SCARCE first edition, first printing SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. HEAVY PLEASE CONTACT US ABOUT POSTAGE. ORDERS OUTSIDE OF UK MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL COST. . Signed by Author. First edition, First Printing. Hardback. Very Good Plus/Very Good.
