It was the 'life goes on...' part that got me. I hate it when someone comes out with that supposed well meaning phrase. It strikes me as the kind of thing someone says when it would have been better if they had kept their own counsel.

I must have read hundreds of poems about WW1. Indeed, I studied it briefly during my time at college. Many are bitter and angry poems, but the beauty of this work is the simple, powerful question that for many is yet to be answered 'what for...
