The Long Trail (1965) By John Brophy & Eric Partridge
 
This jewel of a book was first published by Eric Partridge's Scholartis Press in 1930. It went into three editions (the last one of them in 1931), and has now been completely revised and re-arranged by Mr. Brophy. It consists of an informative and entertaining introduction; a collection of songs, ribald, sentimental, satiric, made up by unknown soldiers, and a fascinating glossary of soldiers' slang. The authors, 1914 volunteers, were both infantrymen and they started on this book while they were still close to the First World War.
