About the author
Born in 1881 and died in 1933, George Herbert Fosdike Nichols was a British writer, journalist, and historian. Records from the National Portrait Gallery describe him as a journalist who used the pseudonym "Quex" for work in the Evening News.
His books show a wide range of interests. He wrote The 18th Division in the Great War, a history of a British Army division in World War I, and he also published other works that reflect his interest in contemporary events and travel.
That mix of reporting and historical writing gives his work a practical, readable quality. Whether he was covering public affairs or looking back at wartime experience, he seems to have aimed for clarity and a strong sense of the world around him.
