Notes: Inscribed by the author on the initial blank, 'To E. Marsh, gratefully for criticism, E. Temple Thurston. 18.1.24'. The recipient is likely to have been the literary editor and civil servant (principally as secretary to Churchill), Eddie Marsh.The themes of the verse within are various, with the English countryside the most persistent - there is a poem in tribute to Walter de la Mare and the solitary war poem, 'War Memorial', is perhaps its most powerful.
