His sonnets written during the First World War remain some of the most important examples of Western war poetry, with 'The Soldier' and 'The Dead' being his most well known verses. He tragically perished from sepsis from a mosquito bite whilst sailing with the British Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the First World War at the age of twenty-seven.With a preface by renowned American novelist Henry James.With a frontispiece of the author taken in 1915.
