I decided to do my poem study on A.A.Milne
A. A. Milne was born in Hampstead, London to parents John Vince Milne, who were Scottish
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was recruited into Military Intelligence to write propaganda articles for MI 7b between 1916 and 1918. He was discharged on 14 February 1919, and settled in Mallard Street, Chelsea.
After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934),
Milne married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913. They were expecting a baby girl in 1920, when the baby was born a boy, he was named two names Christopher Robin Milne
Yes Christopher Robin was his son not a made up character in Winnie the pooh
here is a link to one of his poems that I really like.
