All returns from these CHEER-UP BOOKS will go to St. Dunstan's, a school established in 1915 to rehabilitate blinded soldiers.

Come around and get your grins out! In a world of steel-eyed death where men must fight to keep warm, "The Cheer-Up Book of Wounded Soldiers" aims to provide a little comfort -- and possibly merriment. Join a band of World War I deserters as they kill time, not each other, until all war ceases. Read the latest myths from No Man's Land. Observe the lads form a brotherhood and harness a laughter of artillery-sized trembling. The poetry may be in the pity, as Wilfred Owen claimed, but in these poems, there's other stuff too. ALL returns from the Cheer-Up Books will benefit the lads at St. Dunstan's, a school established in 1915 to rehabilitate blinded soldiers. War goes on, but so should good cheer!
