[WOODCOCK, Caroline]. Experiences of an Officer's Wife in Ireland. Edinburgh & London: William Blackwood & Sons Ltd. 1921.
Small 8vo. Original printed wrappers; pp. [iv], 135, [1], [2, advertisement]; wrappers a little marked, light wear to head and tail of spine, otherwise very good; provenance: faint collectors stamp at head of the title-page reading R. J. Prenter (an estage agent) Cushanben Parkmount Road Belfast.
Very rare first edition. A description of a tour of duty in Ireland during the Troubles. The writers’ husband was one of those shot by Michael Collins' men on Bloody Sunday, 21 November 1920, and the narrative includes an eye-witness description of the attack, in which he received two bullet wounds but survived. 'She also paints a picture of a ruling class under siege, where there is no such thing as 'behind the lines' and where dinner party place settings always include a loaded revolver' (advertisement for a more recent new edition). - Not listed by Coogan or other Collins’ biographers.
