Fox-Hunting Man: Published anonymously, in an edition of only 1500 copies. Misprint on line 1 of p. 191 ('merey' for 'merely'), but 'platoon' spelled correctly on penultimate line of p. 365. (According to Keynes, the "typographical irregularities have no significance whatever.") End sheeted spotted and offset, spine a touch embrowned, skillfully closed short triangular tear to front panel, else an excellent example, Near Fine or better. Infantry Officer: A superb copy, binding square and tight (lightly read, if at all), contents clean throughout, jacket lightly rubbed to top of spine panel.

In the late 1920s, Sassoon turned to the prose sequence that occupied him for nearly two decades, the trilogy published as The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston, in 1937, in which the central character is a lightly fictionalized version of the young author.
