Only two out of the twenty contributions in that volume were poetry, but during the ten years which have elapsed since then poetry has played a far greater and more important role, both in the six-monthly volumes published as books and in the more frequent volumes of "The Penguin New Writing" which began in 1941. Nearly all the significant poets of these years appeared in the pages of "New Writing", some of them for the first time and many with poems which are considered among their most memorable. "New Writing" has always been specially interested in those poems which are a mirror of the stormy epoch in which they are written; in translations from modern European poets; and in poems which are not too long for the average weekly or monthly; all these characteristics will be found in the present anthology, which stands also for judgement as a record of one man's taste and the encouragement he endeavoured to give to the making of poetry--to the building of dykes,--during ten years of flood weather.' (Quote taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***First printing of the true first edition, published to post-war economy standards, with an almost complete very fragile original dustwrapper. Uncommon thus. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

From the Dust Jacket: "This history covers the period 1919 to the conclusion of the Second World War in 1945. One of the main objects of this book is to present a picture of operations as a whole, but the outcome of these actions has depended on the skill and courage of platoon and section leaders and the tenacity and dogged endurance of the fighting men. It is they who made possible the victories, they who stuck it to the end and gave their Regiment a wealth of new tradition which will endure long beyond the lives of us all. It was on their deeds that battalion and company commanders were able to construct the battles and steer them to victory. Here is a book, which quite apart from it being of lasting interest to all past and present Royal Welch Fusiliers, is also a valuable contribution to our national military records.". First Edition.
