E. A. Mackintosh

Ewart Alan Mackintosh (1893–1917) was a Scottish poet and officer. Born in Brighton, he was educated at St Paul's School, London, and at Christ Church, Oxford, and was commissioned in the Seaforth Highlanders in December 1914. He served in France, was wounded in 1916, and won the Military Cross.

His first book, A Highland Regiment, appeared in 1917 and gathers his war poems with earlier verse written at school and Oxford. He was killed at Cambrai on 21 November 1917, aged twenty-four; a second volume, War, the Liberator, and Other Pieces, followed in 1918.
