Uncommon June 1915 complete issue of Blackwood's Magazine is loaded with Great War reports and issues. I rescued this one from an old bound volume of the monthly. Just a tiny chip to a tip of the opening page, otherwise a nice and clean issue and text.
158 pages.
The middle months of the second year of the War saw the installation of the Asquith Coalition Government in England; the Italians joining the War effort on the side of the Allies; the still youthful Winston Churchill resigning his War Lord of the Admiralty job following the disaster of the Dardanelles naval and land campaign and joining the Army as a battalion commander; the sinking of the 33,000 ton Lusitania, etc.
Some highlights I find include:
N.P. Clarke opens this issue with "Through the German Lines." 8 pages.
Four stanzas of War verse from "The Junior Sub" (John Hay Beith). It's headed: K (1):
To have a slap at Kaiser Bill...We're off, a hundred thousand strong. / And--some of us will not come back.
Beith also wrote popular works under the pen name "Ian Hay."
George Townsend Warner's "Divergent Operation in War." 15 pages.
L.E. Fraser's "Diary of a Dresser in the Serbian Unit of the Scottish Woman's Hospital." 21 pages.
Arthur Quiller-Couch's serial novel, chapters 22-24: Nicky-Nan, Reservist.
W.J. Childs contributes "Across Asia Minor on Foot" (V). 22 pages.
William H.L. Watson's "Adventures of a Dispatch Rider." 17 pages.
Charles Whibley's "Musings without Method" feature, touching upon the new government, German atrocities, the 100th Anniversary of Waterloo, etc.
