Description: The Canadian Army At WarThree BooksNo 1, 2 and 3Published by the Authority of The Minister of National Defence All three books are 8 3/4" by 6" soft covers. They all have wear on the edges of their covers, bent corner tips,and are discolored from aging and wear. A previous owner has put his name on the front endpapers.They are solid but fragile.
