World War, 1914-1918 -- Prisoners and prisons, Turkish
This book falls naturally in two parts; the first is a sonnet sequence
describing the author’s capture with his battalion in the great March
Offensive, his weary tramp as a prisoner, and internment in a German
camp; the second consists of a series of meditative sonnets on theses
inevitably suggested by close confinement. The poems show great promise,
their intense sincerity being foremost among their merits.
_Morning Post._--“Mr. Bowman’s rich and dignified sonnets.”
_Scotsman._--“There is only one possible verdict on this
volume--well done.”

and well done.”
_Scotsman._--“Her exploit supplies the materials for a
fine tale of adventure, and she tells her story
uncommonly well.”
