First Issue, six parts (all that were published) with the original brown paper wrappers (front and back) bound in, 140 + 2 pages index, illustrated throughout with full page photographs and illustrations by war artists (Melton Prior, Sidney Paget, J. Finnemore and others) with detailed captions beneath, red buckram cloth, fine.
It is very unusual to find this work in the original paper covers in such fine condition. A South African Bibliography lists only one copy in volume 5, the Supplement.
The design on the front cover is attributed to the artist Alan Wright.
