HOW I FILMED THE WAR
When I was in France I made arrangementswith my friend Mr. Low Warren, at that time Editorof the Kinematograph Weekly, to arrange themanuscript I sent him for publication in book form.
The manuscript has in no way been altered inany material respect, and is in the form in whichI originally wrote it.
