| 説明 | Postcard. Postally unused.Star Series. Published by G. D. & D., London.Bought from an eBay seller in Weston-super-Mare, United Kingdom.I felt an immense sadness when I first saw this image, knowing that some (if not many) of these boys may have been killed in the trenches of the Western Front during the First World War. It's fun playing at soldiers as a child, but the real thing is a different matter altogether ...ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH by Wilfred OwenWhat passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattleCan patter out their hasty orisons.No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells, Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,--The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires.What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyesShall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.- en.wikisource.org/wiki/Poems_by_Wilfred_Owen/Anthem_for_D...www.wilfredowen.org.uk/poetry/anthem-for-doomed-youthThere's Hope by Anno Birkin - youtu.be/FCEvHeSojH4en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Llewelyn_DaviesHarry Patch & The Lost Generation of WW1 by GhostWatching - ♫ youtu.be/nRtDWMke79c ♫ - "I made this video as a tribute to Harry Patch who Died on the 25th of July 2009 at the grand age of 111 years old. He was the oldest man in Europe and the last surviving soldier to have fought in the trenches of the First World War. With his death went our last link to the lost generation of young men who died in their millions and an era that was swept away forever."en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_generation |
