GAME AND GUN AND THE ANGLER'S MONTHLY. Vol. XVI. 1939. Edited by Major Gerald Burrard, D.S.O.

1939. 4to (215 x 268mm). Pp724. The full year, January to December, in publisher's cloth binding. Burgundy cloth titled in gilt on spine and upper board.

The twelve issues of 1939, sold together as a bound volume (with index) by the publisher. Articles on guns and shooting, big game hunting, deer stalking, angling, sporting dogs and natural history. Contributors include "Pondoro," H.R. Jukes, Dugald MacIntyre, "BB," Phyllis Kelway, J.C. Mottram, Jack Hughes-Parry, T.J. Hanna, Martin E. Moseley. Every issue begins with a lengthy article by "Argus". Each article is in two parts, a fairly technical section on guns or ballistics, then an authoritative section on fishing, especially fly-tying. It seems very likely that these were written by the editor, Major Burrard, an authority in these fields. Another regular feature was a more anecdotal or chatty article on field sports in general, "Rambles at random by moor, field and stream," by "Nestor". Could this have also been written by the editor?
