Greene definitely takes an easygoing attitude toward British hierarchy and discipline, probably because he wants to make a point about transcendent principles of manhood and honor.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856124774587570334.post-72790608138526939722016-09-16T07:23:36.829-07:002016-09-16T07:23:36.829-07:00I checked my copy of this issue and you have the c...I checked my copy of this issue and you have the complete issue because there was no advertising section for this date. Some issues did have the advertising insert but some did not, probably this was based on the monthly schedule but the magazine was coming out twice a month.<br /><br />I just read "Justice" by Greene and thought it was ok but nothing special. For me a couple scenes rang false and made the story hard to believe. For instance no way would the Colonel and Captain put up with black troops pointing bayonets at them while the Sgt and private were having the fistfight. The whole gang would have been placed under arrest.<br /><br />Also, I've heard of privates refusing orders from a Sgt but this case was not believable, especially in the British army which placed a lot of emphasis on following orders. But this does look like a good issue and shows the magazine was still good after the 1920's.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
