Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was on the Continent teaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded and then decided, in September, 1915, to return to England and enlist. "I came out in order to help these boys directly by leading them as well as an officer can; indirectly, by watching their sufferings that I may speak of them as well as a pleader can. I have done the first" (October, 1918). Owen was injured in March 1917 and sent home; he was fit for duty in August, 1918, and returned to the front. November 4, just seven days before the Armistice, he was caught in a German machine gun attack and killed. He was twenty-five when he died. The bells were ringing on November 11, 1918, in Shrewsbury to celebrate the Armistice when the doorbell rang at his parent's home, bringing them the telegram telling them their son was dead. the poetry

Marvelling they stood, and watched the long grass swirled By the May breeze, murmurous with wasp and midge, For though the summer oozed into their veins Like the injected drug for their bones' pains, Sharp on their souls hung the imminent line of grass

Concordance document.writeln(divStyle) Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Dulce et Decorum Est 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

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Wilfred Owen Profile Poet; born at Plas Wilmot, a large house in Weston Lane, Oswestry , belonging to his maternal grandparents. After their deaths Owen's father, a railway worker, obtained a job in Birkenhead (Wilfred was then four years of age) so the family moved there. In 1907 Mr. Owen was transferred to Shrewsbury and they rented a house, firstly at 1 Cleveland Place and later at 71 Monkmoor Road, a house which they named Mahim (the house has a commemorative plaque to Wilfred Owen). Wilfred, already an aspiring poet, attended Shrewsbury Technical School but was unable to go to university, in spite of passing the London University Matriculation, because of financial restrictions. He taught for a short time at the elementary school on Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury before going to Dunsden in Oxfordshire as lay assistant to the vicar, an appointment which led to him coming close to suffering a nervous breakdown. Then followed a period in France as a private family tutor during which time war broke out with Germany. In 1915 he enlisted in the Artists Rifles and was later commissioned into the Manchester Regiment. He was posted to France in 1916, the year of the Somme offensive, and endured the awful hardship and horror of life and death in the trenches. These experiences, not surprisingly, changed him dramatically. In fact he changed from a rather effeminate and not entirely likeable youth to a man who cared deeply and unselfishly for the safety and welfare of his fellow soldiers.

20. Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen (18931918) poet, patriot, soldier, pacifist Wilfred Owen andhis poetry holds such special importance for me because I underwent similar http://www.rjgeib.com/heroes/owen/owen.html

Wilfred Owen poet, patriot, soldier, pacifist "My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity." Wilfred Owen "The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori." World War I began with great fanfare with long columns of smiling soldiers parading off to war wearing dress uniforms with flowers sticking out of the muzzles of their rifles. Everyone expected it to be over quickly and the heroes returned soon with shiny new metals pinned to their chests. Unfortunately, it did not turn out this way. The war lasted year after year and millions and millions of combatants and non-combatants died. Men lived in rat-infested subterranean holes along muddy and trenches that stretched for miles and fought vicious battles that had little glory and much senseless death. Soldiers thought the war might never end and that their children would grow up to take their place in the carnage of the wreaking trenches. WWI marked the first use of chemical weapons, mass bombardments from the sky on civilian targets, the first genocide. WWI was the true beginning of this our 20th century of spectacular crimes. In the middle of January 1917, Owen was transferred to the hell of the trenches in France where his outlook on life changed permanently. In late April, Owen found himself stranded in a badly shelled forward position for days looking at the scattered pieces of a fellow officer's body (2/Lt. Gaukroger). He was diagnosed with "neurasthenia" and evacuated from the front to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh where he wrote most of his great poetry while convalescing. Owens was bitterly enraged at the senseless killing of the battlefields and the inability of anyone (especially the church) to stop it. He felt enormous pity for his fellow soldiers who suffered, fought, and died in the mud and misery of the trenches. He was horrified at what his sharp poet's eye saw at the front. Owen started the war a cheerful and optimistic man but during the two years of war he was changed forever. This is all immortalized in his famous poetry.
