| Notes | Short, but brutal poem describing the loss of innocence and the realities of war for those fighting during WW2. The speaker describes a trip to Bangor three years ago, contrasting this with his experience now, up to his waist in the bodies of his friends. This refers to World War II, based on the rest of the poems in this collection. |
