Death details from South Africa War Graves Project https://www.southafricawargraves.org/search/details.php?id=16649 Elsewhere this book is stated to be one of the books in the 1916 Hodder & Stoughton series “The Soldier Books”, although this wording may have only appeared on the cover. For one of the other books in this series, there is a comment that the book had small dimensions “4¾ inches wide x 7¼ inches tall”, so possibly the smaller size made it easier to be carried by a soldier.
