SKUES, G. E. M.Minor Tactics of the Chalk Stream and Kindred Studies. London: Adam and Charles Black, 1910. First edition, an extraordinary presentation copy from Skues to his younger brother, inscribed "C.A.M.S. from G.E.M.S. 7 III 1910." Publisher's olive green gilt, preserved in cloth slipcase. 9 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches; xii, 133, [1], [2] pp. ads; with half-title, publisher's advertisements; frontispiece. Extremities slightly bumped, some faint scrapes to covers, endpapers toned, occasional minor foxing throughout.Skues challenged the angling orthodoxy of the day, which hewed to Frederic M. Halford's notion that dry flies were the ideal, and that wet flies, as representations of nymphal insects, were somehow unsporting and even detrimental to the art. The resulting controversy was vehement but cordial, and ultimately established Skues's wet-fly methodology as a valid and important part of angling technique. No condition report?

The paragraph in the banner below reads - The English Lake District is renowned for the beauty of its varied scenery throughout the year, and its many visitors return again and again to enjoy the ever changing views of lakes, mountains, valleys and streams. A concentration of natural beauty that inspired the pen of Wordsworth and other lakeland poets. Among the hills and dales of this lovely region there are opportunities to indulge in many holiday recreations, including cruising on lake steamers or motor boats, yachting and angling, bathing, climbing, golfing, tennis, watching hound trails and attending steeplechase races, rushbearing ceremonies and agricultural shows.

The obsolete destroyer Campbeltown, which was the same size as a German Möwe-class torpedo boat, was changed in appearance by removing two of her four stacks and angling the two remaining stacks to give her a German silhouette. Her bow was filled with delayed-action explosives disguised in a steel and concrete case, and she set off with British Commandos on board, accompanied by 18 smaller craft, across the English Channel to the Atlantic coast of France, where she rammed at speed into the Normandie dry dock south gate. The British commandos disembarked for their ground attack, and the explosives detonated later that day, putting the dock out of service until 1948. Of the 612 men who undertook the raid, 228 returned to Britain, 169 were killed and 215 became prisoners-of-war, one of these being Donald Randall, who was shot. One of the bullets included with this lot was found trapped in his belt after the raid when it fell to the floor in the lavatory after he was taken prisoner. In his memoirs " September 1939 to the Raid on St Nazaire, and After: a Commando's Account", which was written largly for his son's benefit, he recalls that he had been "hit and spun off his feet" during the land based assault. The DCM has contact marks to the edge which slightly erases CAMERONS, and there is a ding to the back edge adjacent to CONDUCT. The Efficiency Medal has contact marks near the service number and there is a ding to the edge.
