CHARLES BUCKLES FALLS (1874-1960) PREMIERS AU FEU / FIRST TO FIGHT. 41 3/4x27 3/4 inches, 106x70 1/2 cm. Condition A-: tears and creases in margins, some affecting image. Paper. Taking a proud line from the Marine Corps hymn, "First to fight," which is also a motto for the Corps, Falls adds a whimsical, cocky dash of French, perhaps to educate the Marines going off to France what they would need to say to the locals as they went to the western front in April, 1918.
