Fav war poet?

[Swan]

Well, the World Wars gave us a raft of young men who were able to convey the brutuality and horrors of war, my favorite poet has to be Wilfred Owen and my top 2 poems:

anthem for doomed youth
dulce et decorum est

What about you?

[Airborne]

Siegfried Sasson.

[Jim]

Siegfried Sasson.

There could be a good write up about this guy but not about his poems, Siegfried Sasson was actually a WWI Soldier who sort of refused to return to combat after convalescent leave blah blah.
I don't want to say to much because maybe later i will write up about his service with the British Army as it defernitely makes for good reading..

i know you wanted to know about poets but i seen this very beautiful peom.

it was written by a woman called Mona Gould and she wrote about her older brother:

This was my brother
At Dieppe,
Quietly a hero
Who gave his life
Like a gift,
Withholding nothing.

His Youth..his love..
His enjoyment of being alive..
His future, like a book
With half the pages still uncut.

This was my brother
At Dieppe.
The one who built me a doll house
When I was seven.
Complete to the last small picture frame.
Nothing forgotten.

He was awfully good at fixing things,
At stepping into the breach when he was needed.

That's what he did at Dieppe;
He was needed.
And even death must have been a little shamed
At his eagerness
