Yeah, Owen. I decided it would be repetitive to put up Dulce et Decorum Est and Suicide in the trenches three years in a row.

Oh god! Don't get me started on Great War poetry!

Epitaphs of War:
"If any question why we died,
Tell them because our fathers lied."
Rudyard Kipling

I love Great War poetry. :D My favourite's Sassoon, who's yours?

[mandor700]

Either Wilfred Owen or Sigfried Sassoon, but Rudyards always to the point.
We spent most of English last year doing the Great War, even did my media project on it for some reason, http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8458001/

Yeah, he is, isn't he.

I always striggle with Kipling because I have difficulty viewing his work in abstraction from his sentiments*, because so often they colour it. :-/ Which tends to mar my appreciation; on the other hand, he was so very talented.

*in particular extreme mysoginism and racism
