MichaelBully Posted 26 June , 2016 Share Posted 26 June , 2016 Good evening. Lucy London, who runs the 'Female Poets of World War 1 ' and 'Forgotten Poets of World War 1 ' blogs has a question for GWF pals. " I am trying to find information about one of the female poets on my list - Mary C.D. Hamilton - who wrote the words to a hymn to aviators in 1915. She seems to have been born in Edinburgh in around 1850/1851 and lived in Sussex in 1939, where she died in 1943. Charles Hubert Hastings Parry 1848 - 1918 wrote the music to the hymn and Mary C.D. Hamilton the lyrics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Parry " Many thanks http://femalewarpoets.blogspot.co.uk/ http://forgottenpoetsofww1.blogspot.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
