Canvas Cover. Likely WW II (No date Printed By Thomas Nelson) "By his majesty's Command" likely refers to King James. Probably US not British because of Star Spangled Banner.
You are bidding on a New Testament hand bible that was given by His Majestys Special Command during WW I.
It is in amazingly excellent condition, no tears or loose pages and the binding is strong. On the inside cover lists 8 bible verses for the soldier and below that "A prayer for the Soldier"; "Keep me, O Heavenly Father, straight and pure and true. Protect my dear ones at home. Whatever comes, help me to do my duty in Christ's name. Amen".
The Star Spangled Banner is printed on the first page and on the inside of the back cover the Battle Hymn of the Republic is printed. This is a very treasured item, winning bidder will dearly love having this item.
Good luck on your bidding!!!!!! |
