"A masterly re-creation of the between-the-wars atmosphere, bright with the very tang and tone of the time.." Sir Philip Gibbs (1877-1962) was born in London. His first book, Founders of the Empire, appeared in 1899. In 1915 Gibbs was one of the five journalists selected by the government to become official war correspondents with the British Army. As well as writing articles about the war for the Daily Chronicle and the Daily Telegraph, Gibbs wrote several books on the conflict: The Soul of the War (1915), The Battle of the Somme (1917), and From Bapaume to Passchendaele (1918). This book was one of his novels about the war and was written only five years before his death in Godalming on 10th March, 1962.
