Poets Wilfred Owen and Kenneth Slessor both explore war conflict‚ while also exploring the dehumanisation of soldiers and emphasising that no where it safe during the war. Owen portrays the men to be “cringe[d] in holes” with “forgotten dreams” dis-empowering the soldiers and making them less of men or perhaps applying sympathy on them.

I‚ George Delpratt‚ have grown up in a time where honour is everything; an era where people believe the sole way to demonstrate true patriotism is to pay the ultimate sacrifice for one’s country. That’s why half the men are here‚ at Gallipoli. Heroes‚ they feel the need to be memorialised as heroes.
