About this book

Carry On is by Coningsby Dawson, with the subtitle Letters in War-Time. The book names Lieutenant Coningsby Dawson of the Canadian Field Artillery and carries "AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY HIS FATHER, W.J. DAWSON". Verse headed "WHEN THE WAR'S AT AN END" begins "At length when the war's at an end And we're just ourselves, you and I".

The text says "sudden and unheralded, there broke on this quiet life of intellectual devotion the great storm of 1914". A speaker says that the way artillery is run to-day an artillery lieutenant is more in the trenches than an infantryman, and that the only thing he doesn't do is to go over the parapet in an attack. A letter closes "Yours ever, Con", and the next, numbered XLVII and dated February 4th, 1917, opens "Dear Mr. B."

About the author

Coningsby Dawson

Coningsby Dawson was a British-born novelist and poet whose writing moved between lyric reflection, romance, and the social dislocations surrounding the First World War. The Worker appeared in the fuller 1906 collection The Worker and Other Poems, an early book that established poetry as part of his career rather than a sideline to his fiction.
