Arvegil145 has just left Hobbiton.
Is there any mention of the First War as such (with capital letters and all) in any of Tolkien's writings other than the published Silmarillion?

Genuinely curious - I've searched far and wide and couldn't find any such term: sure, there definitely was a 'war' between Melkor and the Valar before the coming of Tulkas, but was it actually called the 'First War'?
