Watch Great War Poets

The shattering experience of the Great War in the trenches took its toll on a generation of men who were called up to fight in the nightmare of the trenches. The experience proved so awe inspiring that for many the experience could only be summed up in verse. Today work by young men such as Wilfred Owen, John McCrae and Rupert Brooke has become famous for its poignancy and sense of loss.

Great War Poets is a 2014 documentary with a runtime of 47 minutes.
