Edward Thomas and Wales
Edited by Jeff Towns
(Parthian Books, £9.99)
MOST people will probably come across writer Edward Thomas as part of the canon of WWI poets, including perhaps better-known figures such as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.
And, indeed, much of his most widely celebrated work does date from when he first enlisted at the outbreak of the conflict through to his death at the horrific battle of Arras some three years later.
