Jim's been preparing WW I poetry for his online course so we watched the video "Regeneration" which is based on the novel, the first in a WW I Trilogy by Pat Barker. It is based on a true story about a psychiatrist and three of his patients at an asylum treating men for shell shock. Two of the men are famous WW I poets, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. It's very well done and I highly recommend it. Both Owen and Sassoon returned to the front. Owen died two days before the end of the war...his parents received the letter from the War Office as victory bells were pealing. Sassoon survived and lived to be in his 80's.
Dulce et Decorum Est is Wilfred's Owen very famous poem.
