Poems by Geoffrey Dearmer 1st / 1st 1918

London: William Heinemann (1918). A UK first issue copy in very good condition. There is loss to the top of the spine of about an inch and pencil marsk to the top left of the paper spine. There is a water mark to the bottom of the spine also although there is no sign of water damage elsewhere. The binding is holding firm and the pages are clean and clear from marks.
 
Dearmer served with the Royal Fusiliers. He described the brutality of war in his two collections published, this being his first. It contains ‘Sentinel’ about the evacuation of Gallipoli. A rare title to find in any condition.
