First publication for Letts' poem[edit]
@ShakespeareFan00: According to Winifred Mary Letts, Letts' "Hallowe'en" was first published in the collection Hallowe'en and Other Poems of the War (1916). I've not been able to track down a copy of it. But if it was first published in the US, or published there within 30 days of UK publication, all the above parts of this work will be "US" works for copyright purposes (and PD due to publication before 1925). --Xover (talk) 20:26, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
