Description: "The present book is the first anthology of Great War poetry to make a serious attempt to present poems in chronological order. There are six sections, one for each year from 1914-1918 and one for the post-war decade, each prefaced by a historical outline to give a context for the poems. Inevitably, not all the dates are known, so we have not always kept strictly to chronology within each year: civilians are sometimes separated from soldiers, because their experiences of the war were necessarily very different, and sometimes poems by the same author are grouped together"--Page xxxv.
