  • I came here to watch and listen to this amazing poem, when i read thro the post im astounded by some peoples coments...

    This is an amazing, breath taking and heart felt Poem about young men- some too young to even be called men. Thay fought and died in some of the most harrowing condition known to man.

    What century are we living in for god sake. Whats important here?. thousands of people dying and 1 man speaking so truethfully and so sorrowfully about it or that the same man was gay.

  • Some of you have serious problems. Homophobic doesn't begin to cover it! Downright nasty & ill informed. So Owen was homosexual - that's not the proclivity of the 'Officer Class'! Records show his men were impressed with him (even if he was a poof). Whilst huge numbers were killed in WW1 the Officer Class suffered most - it's been assessed it lost 30% of it's young men. That left a vast number of young widows, not to mention women who would never meet an eligible man & have children ....

  • Sign, this is amazing.

  • I adore this poem. It's beautiful. So haunting and gives me the goosebumps every single time. Those who have posted really bad comments need to take a good look at themselves.

  • After 42 yrs...first of many!!!

  • We studied thsi in year 8.

  • I found that the animation was quite crude and the music didn't really capture the poem. It was a good attempt but It wasn't a strong portrayal of the poem.

  • @springrobin i think its Samuel Barnett in the film...

  • Oh my gosh who is doing the reading of this, in the film not the commentator, I love it! ... please anyone??? His name is on the tip of my tongue & it's driving me crazy...

  • That poem is beautiful

  • an inspirational poem
