Description
The lives, deaths, poetry, diaries and extracts from letters of sixty-six soldier-poets are brought together in this limited edition of Anne Powell's unique anthology; a fitting commemoration for the centenary of the First World War.
These poems are not simply the works of well-known names such as Wilfred Owen - though they are represented - they have been painstakingly collected from a multitude of sources, and the relative obscurity of some of the voices makes the message all the more moving.
Moreover, all but five of these soldiers lie within forty-five miles of Arras.
Their deaths are described here in chronological order, with an account of each man's last battle.
This in itself provides a revealing gradual change in the poetry from early naive patriotism to despair about the human race and the bitterness of 'Dulce et Decorum Est'.
