Abstract

Before the Great war, "it had been almost fifty years since any major European power had attacked any similar country" (Childs 40). England did not remember what war was really like; the people knew nothing except for the romantic notion of war. They believed that to fight for one's country was not only noble but also one's duty as a citizen. Men and boys were excited about going to war and becoming heroes but were completely unprepared for the harsh realities that awaited them. The work of the WWI soldier poets reflects an entire generation's journey from innocence and optimism to horror and disillusionment.
