PREFACE
THE collection of poetry relating to the Great War of 1914-18, here catalogued, was presented to the City of Birmingham Reference Library by a gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous, in memory of Private William John Billington, who fell in action in Palestine in March, 1918. The object of the donor was to form, as far as possible, a complete collection of poetry of the British and Allied Nations relating to the War.
As the formation of the collection was not begun until November, 1918, it is obvious that much of the material suitable for inclusion was then difficult to get. Many verses of merit appeared in newspapers and magazines, which cannot easily be obtained when no longer current. Locally produced verse is also difficult to trace, as it does not pass through the ordinary trade channels. So far as Colonial and Foreign verse is concerned, these difficulties exist in an exaggerated form.
It will be readily understood that the value of a collection, as distinct from a selection, depends largely upon its completeness, and any additions to the present collection will be welcome.
While gifts will be gratefully received, the donor is willing and anxious to purchase suitable additions at their market value, and will be very grateful for any assistance which will help to make the collection complete. Communications in reference to material offered should be addressed to —
THE CHIEF LIBRARIAN, Public Libraries,
Ratcliff Place,
Birmingham.
The War Poetry Collection is displayed in a special bookcase in the Reference Library, for which, and for the present catalogue, the Public Libraries Committee are indebted to the donor of the collection.
The Donor wishes to express his indebtedness to various authors and others for contributions to the collection. Some of these were privately published and would have been unobtainable in the ordinary way.
