We’re honoured to hold in our archives a handwritten manuscript of Laurence Binyon’s For the Fallen, composed soon after the outbreak of WWI. Binyon joined Trinity as a scholar in 1888 and later became an Honorary Fellow. The draft shown here includes subtle variations from the final published text.
