From Emmanuel to the Somme

By Albert E Tomlinson

Albert Ernest Tomlinson was a northern grammar-school boy who studied Modern Languages at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, before going on to fight in World War I. The war quickened his artistic talent, and he produced a range of work, including war poems published shortly after the Armistice. Claiming the literary middle-ground between the vision of the patrician poets and the perspective of ordinary soldiers, he combined an awareness of social realism with an educated literary sensibility. This compilation brings together a collection of his war writings.
