Manchester Regiment. Twenty four years of age. Soldier and poet.

Explore aspects of Oswestry's rich history and heritage through the enthralling family story of Wilfred Owen, the true poet of the Great War.

I came here to this hospital three months ago. They say I am suffering from shell shock. The famous poet Seigfred Sassoon is also a patient. He has been really inspirational to me! Sassoon says that soldier poets should write about what they know, they should write about the war. I looked at the men. They were filthy, ill, exhausted. And some had even fallen asleep as they marched.

I want my readers to see those men. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue. Commentary, newsreel and photographs examine the life of Wilfred Owen, today one of the most widely recognised poets of World War One. Contains potentially upsetting content; teacher review is recommended before use in class.

Encourage the children to compare these verses with the lyrics of popular patriotic songs of the period.
