Abstract
Photograph of Sergeants Frank Worley, who became Edmund Blunden's much admired NCO and life-long friend, who inspired the poem 'Come On, My Lucky Lads', ran a fish shop in Worthing after the war, and died in 1954, taken on 12 January 1917. The book was compiled by Edmund Blunden with the intention of providing complementary photographs supporting the narrative and poems of 'Undertones of War' (1928), and was inscribed 'E.B. New Year, 1935' while Blunden was living in North Oxford, a neighbour of Graham Greene.
