Mons, Anzac and Kut (Illustrated Edition)

Herbert (1860-1923) was a British diplomat, traveller, intelligence officer and Conservative MP. Despite being partially blind from childhood, in 1914 he joined the Irish Guards and served as an interpreter at Mons and later took on the same role and that of liaison officer during the Gallipoli Campaign. Later in the war he was involved in plans for a separate peace with Turkey. This book published in 1919 is based on the diaries he kept while serving on the Western Front and during the other two expeditions. Illustrated with three maps.
