Excerpt from Days of Destiny: War Poems at Home and Abroad

The majority of the shorter poems included in this volume have been published in The Times, others in Tke Contemporary Review, Yorkslzire Post, 0oserver, Nation and the W'estminster and Pall Mall Gazettes, my thanks are due to the Editors for their kind per mission to republish. Ten poems are published for the first time. Apart from the dedicatory poem, they are given in the order in which they were written, and, where necessary, dates attached. The first alone is concerned with the national rather than the international situation, but the brevity of the inter val between it and the second seems now full of significance.
