Notes
A final Oasis anthology, drawing on poems from the series of anthologies as a whole, was published by Michael Joseph (in hardback) and then by Penguin Books in paperback in 1996 under the title The Voice of War - Poems of the Second World War (£7.99) This anthology is edited by Victor Selwyn, the only one of the five original editors still living.

The Voice Of War opens with a Roll of Honour "In Memory" of seventeen poets who died in World War II. Some of them such as Keith Douglas, John Jarmain, Sidney Keyes, Alun Lewis and Richard Spender had work published before the war, or were known as poets to a small public; others had not been published before the Oasis series began.
