About the author
D. H. Parry was a British author whose books appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Surviving editions of his work show him writing both fiction and nonfiction, with a strong interest in military life, patriotic adventure, and historical heroism.
Among his known books are With Haig on the Somme (first published in 1917), The V. C.: Its Heroes and Their Valour, The Death or Glory Boys, Gilbert the Outlaw, and A Loyal Young Rebel. Taken together, they suggest a writer drawn to tales of courage, action, and national service, especially for younger audiences.
Little reliable biographical information about Parry himself is easy to confirm today, and even basic personal details are not consistently documented in the sources available online. What remains clear is the character of his work: energetic, patriotic, and closely tied to the popular adventure and wartime reading of his period.
