This was the one that got me started, the only poem that grabbed my attention at school. Great to hear it again - strong stuff!

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 ....

There is no concrete proof of him being either hetero-, homo-, or bi-sexual. Can we just leave his sexuality out of it, please?

OK. So he was gay, big deal. If anything, it made his work better and it proves that homosexuals should be allowed to serve in the armed forces. It also proves that you can be gay and still be masculine.
