Dulce et Decorum Est ~Wilfred Owen "Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!- An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . . Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs

Wilfred Owen Introduction France Belgium Maps ... Rough Map 4 November 1918 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.

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. Who was Wilfred Owen? 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.

32. The Wilfred Owen Prize He is to receive the wilfred owen award for poetry, named after the man acknowledged as the most influential war poet in English. http://www.haroldpinter.org/home/wilfredowenprize.html

Pinter awarded Wilfred Owen prize for poetry opposing Iraq conflict. The Guardian – Wednesday 4 th August 2004 Harold Pinter's verses against the invasion of Iraq – described as doggerel by some who agree with him and as worse by those who do not – have helped earn him one of the highest accolades for a modern writer on war. He is to receive the Wilfred Owen award for poetry, named after the man acknowledged as the most influential war poet in English. The honour is announced in the Wilfred Owen Association's newsletter today, the 90 th anniversary of the out break of the first world war in which Owen was killed at the age of 25. He left dozens of poems observing and distilling what he called “the pity of war”. The award, a commissioned sculpture, goes biennially to a writer seen as continuing Owen's tradition. A previous winner is the Irish Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney. The award will be presented to Pinter in the spring at a weekend festival in Shrewsbury, where Owen grew up.

Help Apologia pro Poemate Meo by Wilfred Owen I, too, saw God through mud - The mud that cracked on cheeks when wretches smiled. War brought more glory to their eyes than blood, And gave their laughs more glee than shakes a child. Merry it was to laugh there - Where death becomes absurd and life absurder. For power was on us as we slashed bones bare Not to feel sickness or remorse of murder. I, too, have dropped off fear - Behind the barrage, dead as my platoon, And sailed my spirit surging, light and clear Past the entanglement where hopes lay strewn; And witnessed exultation - Faces that used to curse me, scowl for scowl, Shine and lift up with passion of oblation, Seraphic for an hour; though they were foul. I have made fellowships - Untold of happy lovers in old song. For love is not the binding of fair lips With the soft silk of eyes that look and long

Music and Literature The war poet Wilfred Owen 80 years on By Harvey Thompson 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.

You'd think, to hear some people talk, That lads go West with sobs and curses, And sullen faces white as chalk, Hankering for wreaths and tombs and hearses.

40. Wilfred Owen Newly arrived in France in January 1917, Second Lieutenant wilfred owen wrote home to his mother, explaining how the real thing mud - was making itself http://www.arlindo-correia.com/021100.html

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.
