LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of <i>In Memoriam</i> by Ewart Alan Mackintosh. This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 7th, 2010.<br /><br />This week's poem has been chosen for this time of remembrance. Lieutenant Ewart Alan Mackintosh M.C. was a war poet and an officer in the Seaforth Highlanders. His best poetry has been said to be comparable in quality to that of Rupert Brooke. In 1916 he led a raid in which several of his men were killed, one of whom inspired this poem. Mackintosh was himself killed on 21 November 1917. (Summary by Ruth Golding)
