“‘A Highland Regiment’ is a volume of verse by Lieut. E. A. Mackintosh, M.C., Seaforth Highlanders, which shows that he cultivated the muses in the classic shades of Isis before the war gave a keener edge to his thoughts and to his verse. The pieces written during his training and in the trenches are of no ordinary quality, for they have a haunting, mournful melody which is the peculiar gift of the Gaelic temperament.”—Globe.

“Mr Mackintosh’s poignant little volume must rank among the best ‘soldier-verse’ that the war has given us. He makes no concession to sentiment, but lets his muse speak of battle exactly as she finds it.”—Bookman.

“The author has a considerable measure of accomplishment.”—Saturday Review,

“Fine good work comes from Lieut. Mackintosh. His war poems have a strong ring about them.”—Sunday Times.

“This is a real Highlander’s book of verse.”—Graphic.

“Rich in literary and psychological values.”—Poetry Review.

“We are conscious of a finely tempered spirit, grasping indeed the great things but deeply moved.”—Times.

“‘The Highland Regiment’ is equally worthy to take its place beside the very best war poetry.”—Clarion.

“A book of verse of distinctive merit.”—Lady’s Pictorial,

“The reader who appreciates good verse cannot afford to ignore a volume like this, which to sincerity of feeling and directness of emotional appeal, adds high qualities of metrical and verbal technique.”—Scotsman.
