E.W. Hornung - Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front: "Morality was too much their watchword, Sin the too frequent burden of their eloquence"

The author, born in 1866, is best known for creating A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief, whose adventures captivated readers in the late 19th century. His experiences in Australia and service during WWI deeply influenced his writing. In 1919, he published "Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front," reflecting on his harrowing experiences during the war, especially after the loss of his son at Ypres. The book includes a variety of narratives and insights from his time in the military, alongside a biography and bibliography of his works.
