In Memoriam

Today we mark the 101st anniversary of the death of Private David Sutherland, killed in action on May 16, 1916. It was to him that the poem In Memoriam, perhaps E Alan Mackintosh’s best known work, was dedicated.
​
The poem was published after Mackintosh’s death in A Highland Regiment, available to read online here. The full text may also be found on our Poems page.
