Robert Nichols | Invocation: War Poems, 1915, pre-publication galley proofs with handwritten corrections by Nichols

Robert Nichols 

Invocation: War Poems. London: Elkin Matthews, 1915

Pre-publication galley proofs of first edition, numerous handwritten corrections by the author, text leaves and backstrip very fragile

Many corrections are substantial, largely reflecting the published text. A lieutenant, Nichols was invalided out of the army in 1915 with shell-shock.
