Author Notes:	R.C. Sherriff was born in 1896. He worked in an insurance office until he joined the East Surrey regiment early in World War I. In 1917, he was severely wounded at Ypres. Journey's End , based on his letters home from the trenches, was an enormous success and became a classic. In the 1930s, Sherriff went to Hollywood to write the script for The Invisible Man , and subsequently worked on the script for Mrs. Miniver , Goodbye Mr. Chips , and many other successful films. He wrote several novels, including The Fortnight in September , Greengates , and The Hopkins Manuscript before his death in 1975.
