Poetry: learned so far on WW1

I think we learned quite a lot about poetry when analyzing WW1 poetry, in these kind of poems, many different themes were discussed, many stylistic devices are used, the tone can differ from bitter to proud and the meanings of the poems were very different as well.

To me personally, the difference in tone really striked me. For example in 'disabled' the tone is very dark and not very happy, in 'the soldier', some kind of proud feeling is involved as well. in 'Dulce et decorum est', which literally means 'its a good an honourable thing to die for your country' the tone of the poem expresses the title of the poem very well.
