The British Firing Line. Three Reproductions in Colour from Drawings

by Q.M. Sergeant-Instructor E. Handley-Read. (Pulman and Sons. 'Is. 6d. each.)—These are sombre delineations of shell-torn Flanders drawn with great skill, and in the case of the "Sentinels" with great feeling. In this picture the battered and torn willows keep guard over a grave, and the landscape is made eloquent of the sentiment of the whole. The interest of "On the Road to Loos" is more topo- graphical, especially to those who have been there ; while the drawing of the poplar avenue along by the road is a dismal record of the destruct- tion of trees.
