Morning All.

Has anyone read either of these books?

With the British on the Somme by W,Beach,Thomas. and The Battles of the Somme, by Philip Gibbs.

The copies I have look like first editions printed sometime in 1917 The first title on the inside page says to Dad from Ted, Christmas 1917 obviously a christmas gift. Also the Fighting Territorials by

Percy Hurd part of the Country Life series of military life. Are these books considered rare?

I have just started to read the first book mentioned and is a dam good read so far!.

Best Regards Andy.
