Opis

In 54 poems, some resembling short jingles, others long and weighty with complex sentence-like structures, Service details his experiences of war. From the noble self-sacrifice of the infantryman to the base teasing of captured foe, Service spares no one. The poems are riddled with shrapnel, gunfire, grenades and bayonets. These are not poems by which to relax. Some stir us to anger and disgust; others to appreciation for our freedom and thankfulness for the sacrifice of those a century ago (and since) who protected us.
