About the author
D. H. Parry was a British writer associated with adventure fiction and military subjects. Surviving catalog and public-domain records link him with books such as With Haig on the Somme, Britain's Roll of Glory; or, The Victoria Cross: Its Heroes and Their Valour, and The Death or Glory Boys: The Story of the 17th Lancers.
He also wrote for Chums, a popular boys' paper that launched with his serial For Glory and Renown. The mix of serial fiction, patriotic storytelling, and military history suggests a career aimed at general readers—especially younger ones—who enjoyed action, heroism, and richly detailed accounts of soldiers and campaigns.
Reliable biographical details about his personal life are hard to confirm from the sources found here, so much of the man behind the books remains obscure. What is clear is the character of his work: energetic, martial, and closely tied to the reading culture of late Victorian and early 20th-century Britain.
