Wilfred Owen

A number of Year 12 English students are researching Wilfred Owen for their research assessment. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), was a famous war poet. He served as a company commander in the Artist’s Rifles during World War I and was killed in France on Nov. 4, 1918, one week before the armistice. Owen’s poetic theme, the horror and pity of war, is set forth in strong verse that transfigured traditional metres and diction.

I have put some links in below to help students with their research.
