1884 1958 Collings Editor Jack Noted Squire Parodies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Jack Collings Squire, a renowned British writer and editor, in his military uniform during World War One. Born in 1884, Squire was a prolific figure in the literary world, best known for his witty parodies and pastiches. His works, which often poked fun at the literary establishment, brought him both acclaim and controversy. However, when the call to arms came, Squire, like many of his contemporaries, answered the duty of his country. The image of him in this photograph, with a determined expression and a stern gaze, stands as a testament to his patriotism and commitment to the war effort. Squire's military service took place between the years 1914 and 1918, a period marked by immense hardship and sacrifice. The photograph provides a rare glimpse into the life of this celebrated writer beyond his literary persona, offering a glimpse into the man behind the pen. Despite the challenges of the war, Squire continued to write, producing works that reflected the experiences and realities of the time. His war-related writings, such as "The War Song of Dulce et Decorum Est," remain powerful and poignant to this day, serving as a reminder of the human cost of conflict. After the war, Squire returned to his literary pursuits, continuing to write and edit until his death in 1958. His contributions to literature, both as a parodist and as a chronicler of the human condition, left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of his time and continue to influence writers and readers alike.
