Dulce - Owens

• What is the context?

  • WW1
  • harsh reality of war
  • Criticise idolisation of war
  • Fought in WW1 (died at the end of the war)
• haunting flares we trend our backs
• drunk with fatigue
• guttering, choking drowning
• The wagon we flung him in
• Like devils sick of sin
• The old Lie pro patra mori
