Childhood & Early Life The eldest of four children, his siblings were Harold, Colin and Mary Millard Owen. The family lived in a comfortable house owned by his grandfather, Edward Shaw. The house was sold after his death. The family then stayed in Birkenhead while Thomas Owen worked with a railway company.

‘ Describing himself as a ‘conscientious objector with a very seared conscience’, solidarity with the men under his command took him back to the front. In October 1918 he won the Military Cross and the following November he was killed in action on the Sambre canal, a week before the Armistice.

His legendary literature outlived him and became symbolic of the horrors of the Great War. “My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity.” Owen had an optimistic view of the war and like many others at the time was influenced by the patriotism of the war effort.

Writing from the perspective of his intense personal experience of the front line, his poems, including ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ and ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’, bring to life the physical and mental trauma of combat. Owen’s aim was to tell the truth about what he called ‘the pity of War’.

On 4 June 1916, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant (on probation) in the Manchester Regiment. Initially Owen held his troops in contempt for their loutish behaviour, and in a letter to his mother described his company as “expressionless lumps”.
