What is the message of ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ and how is it conveyed? In the sonnet ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ Wilfred Owen conveys the message of the pointlessness of slaughter of generations of young men in the war.

"Attack" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth" Attack - Siegfried Sassoon analysiss At dawn the ridge emerges massed and dun In the wild purple of the glowering sun‚ Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud The menacing scarred slope; and‚ one by one‚ Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire.
