SET DOWN IN MALICE
A BOOK OF REMINISCENCES

[7]
PREFATORY NOTE

Very many of the following pages were written inthe trenches and dug-outs of Greece and Serbia.I added a chapter or two in Port Said, Alexandriaand Marseilles. That is to say, I wrote far awayfrom books and without reference to documents, and Iwrote to refresh a mind dulled by the conditions of ActiveService in the Near East. A few chapters were writtenin London and a few in Winchester.

Here and there may be found factual inaccuracies,though if these exist I am not aware of them. Butthe spirit of the book is as near the truth as I canbring it.
