About this book

Waiting for Daylight is by H. M. Tomlinson, whose other books listed are The Sea and the Jungle, Old Junk and London River. The contents list chapters named In Ypres, A Raid Night, Islands, Travel Books, Signs of Spring, Prose Writing, The Modern Mind and Magazines. A speaker says that he loaded up wounded Tommies, gassed Arabs, some women and children, and a few lunatics from the asylum, and that the shells chased them out.

The text says a serious company of young Englishmen making soldiers of themselves in a day did not look like national indifference. A man who learned the speaker was a writer asks for a book that will make people hate the idea that the State is God as Moloch was at last hated. A section headed Barbellion is dated December 18, 1920, and begins with the words When posterity feels curious to discover what may have caused the disaster to our community.
