The Wilfred Owen poem certainly opposes the glorification of war as seen in some films and books.

I remember hearing about batalions of soldiers being told to leave their great-coats behind so that they could run faster and more were killed by the cold, in France, than by enemy fire.

I would be glad if you will post the E's, giselle, thankyou. We could have a break for a week if Liz and Frog agree.

Sounds good to me. I won't join in right away because I'm going away at the end of next week.

Go type a post in the 'E' poems so that you'll get a prompt when giselle posts first one. :wink:

Oh no, Ds and Es are together - not necessary....sorry!! :blush:
