Excerpt from Marlborough, and Other Poems In case any reader should ask about the author, the following information may be given. He was born at Old Aberdeen on 19 May 1895. From 1900 onwards his home was in Cambridge. He was at Marlborough from September 1908 till December 1913, when he was elected to a scholarship at University College, Oxford. After leaving school he spent a little more than six months in Germany, returning home on the outbreak of war. He was gazetted Second Lieutenant in the Seventh (service) Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment in August 1914, Lieutenant in November, and Captain in the following August. He was sent to France on 30 Mav and was killed in action on 13 October 1915. Being made perfect in a little while, he fulfilled long years. The letter in verse, fragments of which are given on pages 73 - 78, was sent anonymously to an older friend who, however, discovered its authorship and replied in the words which, by his permission, are now printed on the opposite page.
