What a waste that war was over 700,000 British lives lost I don't know the final total for all countries involved. But over 700,000 lives. Lives that could have been. A tragic poem that really hits home. And Siegfried Sassoon survived the war.

I love looking at these war poems. They make one remember those who served them and those who need honored by us. I'm a cadet. This stuff is important.

This poem is going to haunt me for a long long time! Powerful. Heart-breaking. Wise. And it hurts in that way that truth has of hurting. 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Raw and emotional, this poem really hits home, and shows the brutal and viscous cycle that is war.
