ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about A Book of Broadsheets that makes up an anthology of the 1915 broadsheets distributed by The Times to members of H. M. Forces serving in the trenches of World War I. It contains a wide variety of rich literature from before the war and was designed to give soldiers entertainment. The chapter discusses a literature of Tam O'Shanter. Very few complete bound collections of the original Broadsheets are known to be still in existence, though a good deal of evidence has been forthcoming since the first anthology was published that many people preserved isolated sheets; and their reproduction now, at the end of the first decade of peace, affords a welcome opportunity to pay tribute to some of those who invented and furthered the project, assisted it with their suggestions, and in certain cases waived valuable copyrights in so good a cause.
