Beschreibung

First edition. 24 pages. The book is bound in the publisher's buff coloured wraps, lettered and simply decorated in red and blue, the covers are quite rubbed and stained. The pages are somewhat foxed and slightly toned, with minor marks and a short tear to the edge of page 19/20. Betham-Edwards final collection of poetry, inspired by the events of the First World War. Some focusing particularly on the Alsace region. Most are patriotic and encouraging men to join the fight, such as this from "No Son of Mine"(1915): "From over-sea thy brethren hie, Great England's sons, not these home-born, whilst thou by thousands let'st them die Thyself, unharmed, the butt of scorn!".
