"[. . .] by 1915 he had been awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry to capture the ridge near Ypres known as 'Hill 60' [. . .] Between the wars his gift for idealistic leadership was exemplified particularly by his success as Chaplain of Harrow School. He also travelled widely during that period, and the book includes vivid descriptions of his experiences in the Holy Land and as leader of several Commonwealth Tours. Equally absorbing is the account of his outstanding work as Senior Chaplain in the Algiers area during the Second World War, and of the subsequent years when returned to Harrow as Vicar." - from dust-jacket blurb.
