| Summary | "A Gloucestershire Lad at Home and Abroad" by F. W. Harvey is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. The author, a soldier in the 5th Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment, uses his poetry to reflect on themes of home and the experiences of soldiers, contrasting the horrors of war with the beauty of the English countryside. The poems capture a soldier's longing for home and the emotional toll of fighting, illustrating a heartfelt desire for peace and a return to normal life. The collection features a range of poems that delve into personal reflections, landscapes of Gloucestershire, and the camaraderie among soldiers. From the longing expressed in "In Flanders" to the contemplative "If We Return," Harvey's verses resonate with a deep sense of nostalgia and yearning for the simple pleasures of life at home. Poems such as "A Song of Gloucestershire" celebrate the beauty of the author’s homeland, while others grapple with the realities of war and loss. Each piece carries emotional weight, depicting both the joy of memories and the sorrow of sacrifice, making the collection a poignant tribute to both the soldier's experience and the enduring ties to home.
