Ballads of Battle

This book pf poetry was originally published in 1916 by John Murray, London. The version we have in the Collection is an Open Source publication, and is basically a facsimile copy of the original, but bound by Bibliolife. Lee was a Lance-corporal in the Black Watch when the book was published in 1916; he later advanced to sergeant and was even later commissioned. The book contains 38 poems and a number of illustrations, all by Lee himself. See also Lee's biography "Fighter Writer: The Eventful Life of Sergeant Joe Lee, Scotland's Forgotten War Poet" by Bob Burrows, which is also in the Collection.
