"Major Lord Frederick FitzHugh, second son of the Marquis of Fowey has to leave The Life Guards due to his heavy losses with Lloyds.

Her husband was tortured to death in the Bosnian Civil War. Wolves, disturbed by the fighting, are once again roaming the mountains of Slovenia. The fast-moving action switches between the ceremonial splendour of The Household Cavalry, the landed Gentry at play in the Hunting Shires and the gruesome battlefields of Bosnia." . …

A commentary by R.W.F. Poole appears on each left-hand page and the poem itelf on each right-hand page. According to Willy Poole's introduction, the poem's manuscript was discovered in Aston-Ingham, Gloucestershire by the Rev. Whatley. The manuscript was dated 'Cheltenham 1871' but lacked an author's name. Rev. Whatley gave the manuscript to the master of the Ledbury, William Gordon Canning, who produced the first edition in 1914 in aid of charity. There was a further edition, in aid of the Red Cross, in 1918, and it was in this edition that the poem was first attributed to D.W. Nash. In passing, Poole offered the proceeds of this edition to the Red Cross, who refused out of disapproval of the poem's theme. This edition was therefore published in aid of the Hunt Servants' Fund. .…
