I have more, believe me. I have more.

Although these poems were written not very far apart in either time or space, Wilfred Owen died ninety years and seven days ago exactly, while Siegfried Sassoon lived until well after the war. So one poem from a man who never left the trenches to his fellows, and one from a man who only left them in body, to his.
