The Soldier-Poets of
the First World War

Attached is a collective review of the poets of the First World War - as it appeared in The English Review in 1921:

"Soldier poets are the true historians of the war. Unlike the host of professional versifiers who sat up day and night on Parnassus, pouring out their patriotic zeal in allegorical rhymes of battles and batteries with more than Aesopian facility, the soldier poets have given to life and literature a genuine interpretation of warfare stripped bare of artificiality."
