New York: John Lane Company, 1918. First edition. Hardcover. This unusual and elusive book is about a U.S. volunteer from California, Harry Butters, who volunteered and lost his life in the British Army during the First World War more than half a year before the U.S. formally entered the war in 1917. This first edition is notable for inclusion of a striking 10 September 1916 tribute letter about Butters by Winston Churchill, originally published in the Observer. Book in good condition. The blue cloth binding is solid with shelf wear due to the age of book as it has been used. The Picture page of Butters is half loose yet still connected to the book ...see photos
