Have a little read: ... DULCE ET DECORUM EST - A poem by Wilfred Owen "Dulce et decorum est" is a poem written by the poet Wilfred Owen during the First World War. It was written to portray the reality of war. In it he describes the horrors he witnessed as a soldier from the front line of battle. The aim of the poem was to tell people that Jessie Pope, a poet who was encouraging young men to go to war because it was glorious, was wrong. The poem starts with soldiers marching away from the battlefield. They have just been in battle and are heading back to their rest areas: "bent double" Owen describes the way in which the soldiers are walking. They are bent double with exhaustion and fatigue. They walk in a crooked stance. They are unable to walk properly; it is too much effort so they walk leaning over almost collapsing
