| Notes | The title of this poem clearly indicates that it was written in memory of the poet's grand-uncle who fought as a soldier in the First World War. The poem details some of the complexities of Irish history regarding WWI and the commemoration of Irish men who joined the British Army - the speaker's grand-uncle was belittled by schoolteachers and local people who call such men traitors. The long-term psychological effect of war on combatants is evidenced by the grand-uncle's alcoholism. |
