BALLADS OF BATTLE
Third Impression, 2s. 6d. net
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
The Tinus."There is real fibre and lifeblood in them, and they never fail to hold the attention."
The Spectator." Of the verse that has come straight from the trenches, the BALLADS OF BATTLE are among the very best. The horror, the exultation, the weariness, and the humour of trench warfare are here. Real soldiers' songs. with at times a deeper note, as in the remarkable poem, 'The Green Grass."
Morning Post. There is staunch stuff in this little book of verse from the trenches. Here is a soldier and a poet and a black-and-white artist of merit, and we wouldn't exchange him for a dozen professional versifiers who cannot write with a spade or draw with a bayonet or blow martial music out of a mouth-organ."
Manchester Guardian.There is no shadow of doubt but that Sergeant Joseph Lee's BALLADS OF BATTLE are the real thing... In its way this little book is one of the most striking publications of the war."
Leeds Mercury. "Many war poems have been published of late, but few approach the BALLADS OF BATTLE in point of imagination and vitality of expression. There is a grim realism in the Sergeant's poems, as well as an intensity of vision that is at times almost startling."
The Bookman. Sergeant Lee is in the succession, spiritual descendant of those balladists and lyricists who have made the name of Scotland bright... As for the manner of the book, it is good- it is very good, it is notable."
Glasgow Herald.- Sergeant Lee's verses are as frank and straight as we would wish a soldier-poet's work to be; but behind all the humour and grim realism there is a poet's ideal humanised by a Scot's tenderness, and the serious poems are worthy of any company. Their courageous cheerfulness is inspiring."
The Tatler."A little volume which I shall always hope to keep. Mostly these vivid little poems were composed well within the firing line; all of them are haunting some because of their jocular soldier-spirit, others for their wonderful realisation of the silent tragedy of war."
Sheffield Telegraph." A human, throbbing thing from the trenches. It strikes vibrant notes of laughter and tears; now it weeps, and now it is full of the exuberant joy of life; it is a living document authentic and deep."
The Lady. "Among the poems there is not one that is not fine and memorable. They are poems that will be learned by heart, quoted uncon sciously a dozen times a day, familiar as household words. The beautiful little pen-and-ink drawings with which they are embellished show Mr. Lee equally gifted as artist and poet."

​BOOKS by BOYD CABLE
"Boyd Cable is already one of the prose Laureates of the war. . . . No one can describe more vividly the fierce confusion of trench fighting."—Punch.

BETWEEN THE LINES
Spectator.—For a conspectus of daily routine within the limited area of first-line trenches we think Mr. Boyd Cable's book the most fully informing we have read. If one cannot see The life of the trenches going on by reading this book, it must be that one cannot derive a true impression from any printed page."

GRAPES OF WRATH
Westminster Gazette.—"The war has been the means of introducing to the reading stay-at-home public many powerful writers; but not one of them is quite the equal of Mr. Boyd Cable in making warfare seem real . . . in his new book he has surpassed his earlier accomplishments."

ACTION FRONT
Observer.—"Vivid, unforgettable sketches. No one could do more useful or desirable work than this of interpreting the life of the Front to the anxious public at home; and no one does it better than Mr. Cable."
