Abstract

Page 302 from a first edition of 'Undertones of War' (1928) showing the poem ""Trench Nomenclature"". The prose section of the volume was written, apart from the help of a few maps, entirely from memory while Blunden was teaching in Tokyo between 1924 and 1927. Annotations in Blunden's hand added later at an unknown date. In the margins he lists the locations and names: 'Hamel', 'Hooge', '[Bond St. / Lover's Lane / Moated Grange / Dormy House]', and 'Observatory Ridge'.
