Ink ownership inscription to ffep and date to foot of front pastedown, Xmas 1935. Dust jacket is bumped to extremities with some short tears, some staining to rear. A richly human story of the comradeship of six men "after the war," - six officers and a batman - gentleman, bank clerk, farmer, business man, broker, doctor, reformed burglar. These widely different types, cemented by the bond of friendship, struggle with varying degrees of success and failure to get back to their place in the everyday world. It is the full-length figure of Captain Jack Sherring that dominates the story - his experiences in love and marriage add keenly to the emotional appeal in this richly packed and richly human novel of a lovable and plucky character, who before it is too late meets a courageous woman and finds his way to happiness.
