Alan L. Strang was born in Spokane, Washington, on August 18, 1908. Living there until he was four years old, he came to California in 1913 with his parents, making their home in Redwood City.
He had a gentle, loving disposition, was always frail and delicate and possessed a mental development far in advance of his years. He was taken to the Great Beyond on January 29, 1919.
The poems were written prior to his tenth birthday. Considering the age of the author we feel that the work contains real merit, while the sentiment expressed betokens that patriotic spirit that never fails or hesitates when our country calls for men.
