LIT/A/1: Wilfred Owen: ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’

Men of the 10th (Service) Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment of the 31st Division marching to the frontline, 28 June 1916. By Brooks, Ernest (Lieutenant) (Photographer) Owen fought at the Somme and was admitted to the Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh in 1917 after suffering shell shock where he met Siegfried Sassoon, who helped him channel his war flashbacks into poetry. He returned to fight and was killed in action a week before the war ended, in November 1918.
