... This was World War One. From 1914 until 1918 a war that changed the world took place. ... The “Doomed youth” went into war with a positive attitude, thinking it would solve their problems and bring world peace. ...
During this horrific time, many poets wrote about their thoughts, feelings or experiences of war. ... When the war broke out he joined the Royal Navy. ... So Brooke never actually experienced war. ... Unlike Brooke, Owen actually fought and died in the war. ... Owen was wounded three times and was diagnosed as shell-shocked in 1917, so was sent to the war hospital in Edinburgh, where he was supposed to keep quiet about the reality of war. ... Unfortunately he was killed a week before the war ended, whilst leading his men across the River Sambre. ... In contrast to the other two, he actually survived the war. ... He enlisted as a cavalry soldier just before the outbreak of war and was commissioned in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in 1915. ... After being wounded Sassoon sent an anti-war statement which got printed in ‘The Times’. He was sent to the Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh after being declared shell-shocked. ... Sassoon showed that by refusing to go on, he survived the war, which the other poets did not. Sassoon finally retired from the army in 1918 and was by now the hero of the anti-war faction and the leading war poet.
Rupert Brooke’s poem “peace” is about war being good, and death not being that bad. The title “peace” is ironic because he means internal peace – peace inside, but the whole theme of the poem is war, which is not a peaceful topic.
