An American anthology gathered just after the Armistice. It mixes poems by serving officers such as William Noel Hodgson with verse from Punch, the Boston Transcript and other papers, and pieces by Edgar Guest, Charles Hanson Towne and others, on going to France, No Man’s Land, submarines, the gold star of a lost son and the little home paper.
A snapshot of how the war sounded in popular verse on both sides of the Atlantic, for readers of First World War poetry. Download the free EPUB.
