"The Cornhill Magazine (vol. XLII, no. 251 new series, May 1917)" by Various is a periodical publication written in the early 20th century. This specific edition contains a mix of literary works, including fiction and articles, reflecting the societal issues and cultural thoughts of its time during World War I. The likely topics include military experiences, personal anecdotes, and philosophical observations, aiming to provide readers with both entertainment and insights relevant to the era. The opening of this edition introduces a story titled "Bring Up the Guns" by Boyd Cable, focusing on the characters Jack Duncan and Hugh Morrison who decide to enlist in the army as World War I rages. Both young men, who are long-time friends working in a city office, are determined to join together, contrasting their romantic ideals of war with the harsh realities of military life. Their journey from recruitment to training and eventual deployment presents an emotionally charged narrative that captures the essence of camaraderie and the challenges faced by soldiers in the trenches.
