    Extractions: Introduction France Belgium Maps ... Rough Map On 31 October 1918 as the war was coming to its close, the British Army was preparing to make an assault on the Sambre Canal to the east of Le Cateau. Amongst those present was the British war poet: Wilfred Owen, who was a Lieutenant in the 2nd Manchester Regiment. Owen wrote home to his mother, from his dug out at Ors, how everything was going well, and that the war would be well over by the time she received the letter. A few weeks earlier he had been able to write how he had won the Military Cross by capturing a German machine gun and and scores of prisoners. "I only shot one man with my revolver (About 30 yards!); The rest I took with a smile." On the 4th November 1918 the assault began, but attempts by the Royal Engineers to bridge the canal were prevented by German machine gun positions on the far side and by heavy artillery fire. Casualties amongst the engineer ran high and the canal remained unbridged. In the light of that failure the British tried using rafts, but they too were ineffectual. Standing at the edge of the canal encouraging his men to fashion together planks, Owen was hit, and killed.

    Extractions: A high-quality version of this image can be purchased from British Library Images Online . For more information email imagesonline@bl.uk Wilfred Owen is among the most famous poets of the First World War. This is the opening of a poem written in his own hand while he served as a soldier in the appalling conditions of the trenches. 'Dulce et Decorum Est' gives a chilling account of the futility of war, engendered from intense personal experience. It was composed during a burst of extraordinary creativity between the summer of 1917 and Owen's death in the autumn of the following year. Owen was born into a family of committed Christians on 18 March 1893, at Oswestry in Shropshire. His father worked on the railway, but Wilfred was determined to be a poet by his late teens. He worked as a student teacher while preparing for the entrance examination for London University. In the event, he was unable to take up his university place because of the family's lack of money to support him. He went instead to France, earning a living by teaching.

    Extractions: 2 December 1998 This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the end of the First World War. The few remaining veterans now average 100 years old. Throughout Britain, in workplaces, schools and at city centre gatherings, the traditional two-minute silence was observed on November 11 at 11 a.m. Public ceremonies took place throughout Europe attended by large crowds composed of veterans and their relatives, young people and children. One man's name that was mentioned more often than most was the poet and soldier Wilfred Owen. He was killed in action just days before the war ended. A recent edition of over a hundred of his poems sold tens of thousands of copies. In his hometown of Shrewsbury there were four days of tributes. When the Queen visited Ieper in Belgium (the heart of the bloody battlefield of Ypres), she saw a copy of his poem, Anthem for Doomed Youth , displayed in the museum near the Menin Gate memorial to 54,000 missing soldiers. In the small northern French village of Ors, mourners laid flowers on his grave and remembered his life and legacy.

    Extractions: Wilfred Owen The eldest son of a railway clerk, Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born in Oswestry in 1893 and grew up in Birkenhead and Shrewsbury. An early interest in poetry was encouraged by his ambitious and possesive mother who was a devout evangelical Anglican (his father was disappointed that Wilfred did not seem likely to take up a trade), and he absorbed the works of Shakespeare and Romantic poets such as Keats, before starting to write poetry himself. When, in 1912, Wilfred failed to win a scolarship to London University he became an unpaid lay assistant in the parish of Dunsden near Reading. Sadly, he did not receive the tuition he had hoped would enable him to make a second attempt at winning a scholarship; and it wasn't long before he resigned his post and rejected his orthodox beliefs. In 1913 he travelled to Bordeaux and took a poorly paid job teaching English in the Berlitz School. This led to a private tutoring post in the Pyranees, where he met the poet Laurent Tailhade who encouraged him to continue writing. When war was declared he was indecisive about returning to England because of the supposed dangers of crossing the Channel during wartime. However, he eventually made his way back in September 1915 and promptly enlisted in the Artists' Rifles, where he met Harold Monro, in whose Poetry Bookshop Wilfred spent many happy hours (he also took lodgings there); and some months after being comissioned in the Manchester Regiment, Wilfred was shipped over to France, where in early 1917 he joined the 2nd Manchesters on the Somme.
