Black's preface (pp.5-6) begins by explaining that 'The ideas embodied in the following pages are the product of some eight months incarceration in Germany. At Rastatt, Baden, several hundreds of British officers, taken prisoner in the March offensive (1918), were collected, prior to being sent to the various permanent camps for prisoners-of-war. There, the idea occurred to Mr Taylor, then a prisoner-of-war like myself, of establishing what he termed a “Future Career Society.”' The description of the plan (pp.7-22) is titled 'A Project for a Memorial', and is dated 'Mainz, Germany | Sept. 1918'. The last of nine appendices contains 'Some Criticisms' (pp.49-56), in letters from Isambard Owen, W. H. Hadow, H. F. Wilson, Angus Watson, T. J. Lennard and A. K. Wright. Six copies on COPAC, but now scarce.
