Description

Manuscript of the first draft of this poem, enclosed in a letter to Eleanor Farjeon in Nov 1916 from the Royal Artillery Barracks, Trowbridge. It is written in long lines to give the appearance of a letter, so that Thomas’ fellow soldiers would not realise he was writing poetry. The commas indicate intended line breaks.
