The poem "Dead Man’s Dump" written by Isaac Rosenberg‚ a soldier in the first world war‚ has made a lasting impression on me. He originally enlisted in the army in October 1915.

As time goes on we may gradually forget what these men

’All a poet can do is warn’ Contrary to popular beliefs which state that war glorifies patriotism and machoism; Wilfred Owen’s ’The War Poems’ strips back all that is perceived as good and warns readers of the dark underbelly of war. By targeting all the senses of the readers‚ Owen is able to reveal the main message that lies beneath all the words of his poetry: war is futile.
