There is no author, but there is a "Prefatory Note" (i.e. Introduction) by William Archer. This is a First Edition. Seeger was the uncle of Pete Seeger, the renowned American folk singer and performer. He joined the French Foreign Legion and fought for the French until he was killed on the Somme on July 4th 1916. His most famous poem was "I Have a Rendezvous With Death", which was a particular favourite of John F. Kennedy. Seeger rightly commands a place with the other, more famous, war poets.
