Jude Campbell 8H 18/12/12 English assessment-Poem Comparison In this essay I will be comparing the two poems: ‘who’s for the game?’ by Jessie Pope and ‘dulce et decorum est.’ by Wilfred Owen.

Despite their fatigue‚ the group of men still have a strong bond‚ as they did not think only of themselves while shouting ‘gas! GAS! Quick‚ boys!’.
