War Letters Of A Public School Boy
By Paul Jones
Published by Cassell And Company Ltd: London, New York etc 1918 1st Edition

"Published in 1918 by Cassell and Company Ltd, War Letters of a Public School Boy by Paul Jones is a deeply moving collection of correspondence written by a young English officer during the First World War. The letters, penned from the trenches of France and Flanders, trace the author's journey from the optimism of enlistment to the grim realities of modern warfare. Through his candid and eloquent reflections, Jones captures the courage, humour, and quiet endurance of a generation shaped by sacrifice, offering a rare glimpse into the moral and emotional world of an educated youth facing the brutality of the front line. The letters are notable for their sincerity and literary grace, revealing both the spirit of duty instilled by the English public school system and the profound humanity that persisted amid devastation.

Published shortly after his death in action, this first edition serves as both memorial and testament to the countless young men who shared his fate. Beyond its historical and personal significance, the volume stands as an enduring piece of wartime literature—intimate, patriotic, and poignant in equal measure. It would strongly appeal to collectors of First World War material, historians of early twentieth-century Britain, and readers drawn to the personal narratives of courage and loss from the Great War era."
