Ralph Hodgson's Talented Friends

The poet Ralph Hodgson was 43 in 1914 and so did not go to the battle front. He did try but was turned down on medical grounds. Instead, he would be employed for the duration on anti-aircraft duties and coastal defence on the East Coast of England. His would be a long war, with only occasional breaks for leave until his demobilisation in January 1919.  He wrote little poetry either during or immediately afterwards yet, curiously, he would be closely involved in the production of three of the conflicts most enduring and commercially successful works.
