WILLIAMSON, Henry. The Patriot's Progress. Being the Vicissitudes of Pte. John Bullock. London: Geoffrey Bles. 1930.

8vo. Original cloth with dustwrapper; pp. [vi] + 196, illustrated with lino-cuts by William Kermode; previous owner's inscription to ffep, wrapper a little soiled to spine, foxing to edges, very good.
First standard edition. Williamson's novel of the trials of an infantryman on the Western Front with evocative woodcuts by the Australian Kermode. Kermode had initially asked Williamson for little more than captions for his woodcuts. The result was this full-blown novel, " a most effective combination with Williamson's raw evocation of the soldier's lot perfectly complemented by the rough style and subtle humour of Kermode's images" (Matthews, p.68).
