This important work, to which Sassoon was a primary contributor, was first published privately in 1938 (see Keynes B16). A public edition was issued in 1987, which was followed, in turn, by this paperback version. Sassoon's main contribution A Subaltern's Service in Camp and Action (12 March to 1 April 1917) stands as Chapter XII where it is here retitled A Chapter in a Subaltern's Life (March 12th to April 16th 1917). The account was written early in 1926 and except for his diaries of 1918, was the first prose Sassoon wrote about the war. It was afterwards expanded in Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930) as pp. 190-237 (see Keynes A33). Not recorded by Enser.
