This article focuses on the book "Sherston's Progress," by Siegfried Sassoon. The author continues here and possibly concludes, his largely autobiographical chronicle of Englishman George Sherston. For those who have read the "Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man" and the "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer" this book may prove a valuable extension of earlier experiences. For those who, like myself, have not, it must come as a very great disappointment. Its shortcomings are scarcely atoned for by its undeniable honesty and scarcely annulled because the story has a certain interest it was never intended to have.
