Abstract
David Jones' poem 'In Parenthesis' was adapted for the wireless (radio) by Douglas Cleverdon and was to be broadcast on the BBC Home Service on Armistice Day 1939, but all schedules were cancelled after the outbreak of the Second World War. This shortened version was rehearsed in 1942 for broadcast on 10th November, but this too was cancelled to make way for the broadcast of Winston Churchill's 'The End of the Beginning' speech (delivered at The Lord Mayor's Luncheon, Mansion House, London November 10th 1942). The first performance had to wait until November 1946.
