His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of previously published Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, including the titular short story, His Last Bow: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes (1917). The collection’s first United States edition adjusts the anthology’s subtitle to "Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes." All editions contain a brief preface by “John H. Watson, M.D.,” assuring readers as of the date of publication (1917), and the fact Holmes is long retired from his profession of detective but is still alive and well, albeit suffering from a touch of rheumatism.
