Thanks, Gwyn. It's good to have the original available but his handwriting isn't that easy to read. I'll have to buy a copy of the transcription published in 1977 in a limited edition.

There has been the most excellent play about Edward Thomas on BBC Radio 4 this afternoon to commemorate the centenary his death on the opening day of the Battle of Arras.

Just listened to this on catch-up. Absolutely superb, I can't recommend it too highly. Should be available to download for a few more weeks.
