While writing the poems for what would become his first book 'Severn and Somme' he was wounded in the shoulder in April 1917. However, he returned to battle and continued to work on his book and composing music. He was gassed in September 1917 and sent to the Edinburgh War Hospital. His book was published in November 1917. Scott continued to champion Gurney's music and poetry throughout Gurney's mentally troubled life up until her own death in 1953. Scott helped Gurney deal with his doctors, made decisions about his care, took him on trips and provided financial support. After Gurney's death in 1937 she gained full control of his estate and their biographies are covered in Pamela Blevins, 'Ivor Gurney & Marion Scott: Song of Pain and Beauty' (2008). Important association copies. (2)

*May (Fred (1891-1976)). A collection of thirty-four original cartoon illustrations, together thirty-three humorous watercolours and one pen & ink drawing, on paper or card, some laid down, various subjects, including golfing, fishing, shooting, caricatures, Christmas and birthday cards (some to the artist's grandchildren), most signed and dated, 18.5 x 12.5cm (7.25 x 5ins) and smaller, seventeen mounted, one framed and glazed, together with some related cuttings and other ephemera Fred May was born in Wallasey, Cheshire, and was the nephew of cartoonist Phil May. He attended the Liscard School of Art, followed by Reading University. His earliest drawings were produced for the 'North Eastern Daily Gazette' and his first cartoons for the 'Tatler' (which he worked for until his death) were sent home in 1917 from the trenches where he was serving as an infantry officer. He is well-known for his military cartoons, which are held in many regimental museums. He also worked for the 'Liverpool Daily Post & Echo', 'The Weekly Sketch' and 'The Graphic', amongst other publications. The National Portrait Gallery holds a number of his caricatures. (34)

Greene (Graham). Babbling April, 1st edition, Basil Blackwell, Oxford, 1925, light toning to page 32, a few minor spots, original boards, spine a little rubbed and faded, 8vo, together with Oxford Poetry 1923 & 1924, 2 volumes, Basil Blackwell, Oxford, 1923-24 The author's first book. Each poem is dated in pencil at its foot, subsequently erased but most legible under angled light, with a pencil insertion of a dropped word in the poem on page 6. These are most probably in the hand of Graham Greene, with their characteristic neatness and form of figures, with no one else likely to have been able to date the poems so accurately, i.e. the poem on page 12 is dated to Christmas Day 1924. Six of the poems were published in Oxford Poetry, 1923-25, with the dates in this copy tallying accordingly. (3)
