F.W. Harvey joined the 5th Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment only days after the First World War was declared, and was among the first Territorials to land in France. As a Lance-Corporal he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for "conspicuous gallantry" followed by a commission. He survived the Somme offensive but was captured in August 1916 and spent the rest of the war in POW camps.
A contemporary of Owen, Sassoon and Thomas, he wanted nothing more when "at rest" than an interval of quiet in which to set words down in verse. He also worked with Herbert Howells , composer of Lydney.
