I've just been on a tour looking at some of the war poets of WWI and WWII and also some of the other writings at the time, as well as subsequent films.  I'm therefore going to post some of my photos over the next few days.

I've had an interest in reading some of the war poets for a number of years, so the opportunity to visit where they fought and some died was an opportunity I didn't want to miss.  There's always a sense of how much more they could have written had they not died, but even more, seeing the graves of so many who died while still in their teens, there's an awareness of how many never even had the opportunity to become poets or anything else.
