Select two or three poems from 'Men Who March Away' which we have studied, and show what impressions they give you of the period 1914 to 1918.

For this task I will use two separate poems from different poets during the time of World War One, which have different views and then I will talk about what impression they give me of World War One. For my first poem, I chose 'Dulce Et Decorum Est' by Wilfred Owen and for my second poem I chose 'Peace' by Rupert Brooke. I chose Wilfred Owen because he use's a lot of irony. Owen was …

…people confident that the war is a good thing which it was in his point of view. It may be because Rupert Brooke only wrote what he heard and the rumors he had heard about the war might not even be true at all. This however leads me to think that the events Wilfred Owen describes in his poem are accurate and tell the reader what trench warfare was like in the times of 1914 to1918.
