Note in Edmund Blunden's hand inserted into a first edition of 'Undertones of War' (1928). The volume was written, apart from the help of a few maps, entirely from memory while Blunden was teaching in Tokyo between 1924 and 1927. The note is dated November 1964, when Edmund was discussing preparing a new expanded edition. He laments the fact that there is 'very little about some of the districts known to the 11th Royal Sussex', and wonders how so few people appear in the narrative.
