Title
Poems transcribed by Thomas Welsh
Description
Poems transcribed by Thomas Welsh. The first 12 lines are from a poem called “To Emeline” that appeared in “Atkinson’s Casket or Gems of Literature, Wit and Sentiment,” Volume 11, January 1836, on page 200 under the heading “For the Saturday Evening Post.” The poem appears in its entirety and is signed J.G.M. It is interesting to note that Welsh inserted the word “heart” in place of “breast” in line two. The last 8 lines are the fifth stanza of a poem called “On Disappointment” by Henry Kirke White (1785-1806), an English poet. The date of the poems are not specified.

He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men.
