About the author

D. H. Parry was a British author whose fiction appeared in the lively world of late-19th- and early-20th-century popular publishing. Project Gutenberg lists works by him including With Haig on the Somme, showing that his writing reached readers through both adventure fiction and wartime-themed books.

He also had an early link to Chums, a well-known boys' paper founded in 1892. Wikipedia's history of the paper notes that its launch issue carried a serial by D. H. Parry titled For Glory and Renown, placing him among the writers who helped shape that magazine's early identity.

Much about his personal life is hard to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember him through the kind of stories he published: brisk, accessible narratives written for a broad readership, especially young readers who enjoyed action, empire-era adventure, and military themes.
