Wilfred Owen, Duke et Decorum Est (It is a wonderful and great honour to die for your country). Reproduced in full in, David Roberts, Minds at War, Saxon Books (1996). 

There will be no dispute that Wilfred Owen s Dulce Et Decorum Est is the best known, and most powerfully evocative, of the poems to be spawned in the trenches [1876a] ... 

If, in Wilfred Owen s words "All a poet can do today is warn. That is why the true Poets must be truthful", then they have fulfilled their duty in a truly effective and evocative manner. WE HAVE BEEN WARNED. 

D. Hibberd, "Wilfred Owen - The Last Year", Constable, London, 1992. 

The British soldier-poet Wilfred Owen was moved to these words ... 

To the British - the public, the army, even the men of the Special Brigade - gas was universally known as Frightfulness . Even after years of war and atrocity which had seen the introduction of such terrifying new weapons as the tank, the Zeppelin and the U-boat, gas was still the most hated and feared of them all, with a complete demonology to itself. Chemical weapons came to epitomise all that was most disgusting and evil about the war, a mood captured best in Wilfred Owen s famous poem ... 

The poetry, excerpted from Dulce et Decorum Est, was written by Lieutenant Wilfred Owen of the Royal Army, who was killed in action in France on 4 November 1918.
