'''Wilfred Owen''', (1893 - 1918) <ref>http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/owena.htm</ref> was a British [[soldier]] and [[poet]], noted for his works from World War I.  He was killed at the [[Battle of the Sambre]] just a week before the end of the war and not long after an action that led to his being awarded the Military Cross for gallantry.  Owen's work is noted for its stark depiction of the horrors of war, describing the horrors of German [[chemical weapon|gas attacks]] and of trench warfare.  His most famous poems are perhaps <i>[[Dulce et Decorum Est]]</i> and <i>Anthem for Doomed Youth</i>.
