- 1The Call, Jessie PopeWho's for the khaki suit,
are you my laddie?
who longs to charge and shoot,
do you my laddie?
who's keen to get fit,
who means to show some grit,
and who'd rather wait a bit -
would you, my laddie? - 2The Soldier, Rupert BrookeIf I should die, think only this of me:
that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever england - 3The Dug-out, Siegfried SassoonYou are too young to sleep for ever;
and when you sleep you remind me of the dead - 4In Flanders Fields, John McCraeIn Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row that mark our place and in the sky the larks still bravely singing fly
- 5High Wood, Phillip JohnstoneThe famous spot which in Nineteen-Sixteen,
July, August and September was the scene
Of long and bitterly contested strife,
By reason of its High commanding site.
Observe the effect of shell-fire in the trees
Standing and fallen; here is wire; this trench
For months inhabited, twelve times changed hands;
(They soon fall in), used later as a grave.
