Robb, Maurice Lindsay, George Buchanan, Barbara Green, Hirokuni Dadai (translated from the Japanese. Dadai was chief of police of Hiroshima. His poem is titled '6 August 1945'), May Morton, Oliver Edwards, Roy McFadden, and William Allingham. 12pp. Good clean copy showing very little age or wear. A fine copy. . . . .
