182pp. Black cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Inscribed on front free endpaper (believed to be signed by one of the Literary Executors of Sir Frank Fox) ‘To Anthony and Lucinda With very best wishes. Charles’. Written on title page ‘Limited Edition 105/300’. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket excellent. 8vo. A unique chance to re-discover a contemporary account of a military conflict which took place a century ago. The Agony of Belgium, written in 1914 by Frank Fox, a war correspondent veteran of the Balkan Wars, precedes the trench warfare of the Great War. It recounts events that the modern European mind would probably wish to forget. The bravery and resilience of the relatively new and untested Belgian Army, following the rejection of the German Ultimatum by the King, deserves a wider audience.
