I thought it was beautiful, and the limerick is up there with the Ode to Remembrance, or anything written by Rupert Brooke as a poignant war poem.

Speaking of which, here are the last two stanzas of my favouritest war poem. It’s by Patrick Shaw Stewart, who wrote it during a period of leave before being sent to Gallipoli:

Was it so hard, Achilles,
So very hard to die?
Thou knewest, and I know not—
So much the happier I.

I will go back this morning
From Imbros over the sea;
Stand in the trench, Achilles,
Flame-capped, and shout for me.
