| Notes | This poem depicts a mother imagining her son fighting in WW1. There is specific mention (and implicit criticism) of Edmund Allenby, who led the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and Douglas Haig, commander during such battles as the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras, the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele) and the German Spring Offensive. |
