Abstract
Manuscript in pen in Ivor Gurney's hand. Found in a black hard-cover exercise book inscribed 'I.B. Gurney / 1 Westfield Terrace / Longford / Gloucester'. The poem exists in various drafts. A shorter poem with the same title, inscribed 'To the memory of Edward Thomas', was included in 'War's Embers' (1919). The version shown here was included in Edmund Blunden and Leonard Clark's editions of Gurney poems in 1954 and 1973 respectively.
