Marson had an exceptional (and dangerous) military career.  He first served in 1899 in the Leicester Yeomanry in the South African (Boer) War with the 7th (1st Leics. Yeo.) Coy, 4th Battalion I.Y.,  returned to England and took up fox-hunting by horseback.  After the Great War started, he joined the army again, trained in Egypt, and fought at Gallipoli, where he lost a leg.  He was then seconded to the Royal Flying Corps, where he served as squadron adjutant for 56 Squadron.  Not a flyer himself, he observed and admired the many airmen with whom he was associated, and gives detailed accounts of several men in the squadron, Albert Ball and James McCudden, among others.  The book concludes with excerpts from the squadron's log about missions and aerial combats.  153rd Leicestershire Yeomanry Field Regiment R.A.
