Manuscript in pencil in Ivor Gurney's hand. Another draft of the poem can be found in the small green manuscript notebook 64.6. It was also sent to John Haines in a letter received 11 September 1918. The version shown here was included in 'War's Embers' (1919). Found in a coverless notebook used by Gurney from late August to mid-September 1918. The facing page contains some notes on a progression of musical keys.
