Alun Lewis - Ha! Ha! Among the Trumpets: "And one by one, reluctantly, The living come back slowly from the dead"

The life of Alun Lewis is marked by his transformation from a passionate writer and pacifist to a soldier in World War II, driven by a desire to combat fascism. Born in Wales, he excelled academically and initially pursued journalism before becoming a teacher. His literary contributions included collaborations on affordable literature and poetry that captured the complexities of war. Tragically, his life ended at 28 under mysterious circumstances during his service in Burma, leaving behind a legacy as one of Britain's notable War Poets.
