Owen was born in Oswestry, England, and he attended school at Shrewsbury Technical School before working as a lay assistant to the vicar of Dunsden. He enlisted in the British Army in 1915 and was sent to the Western Front, where he saw active service in the trenches. Throughout his time in the army, Owen continued to write poetry, and his work was heavily influenced by his experiences of war and the suffering he witnessed. His poetry is known for its stark realism, its emotional intensity, and its condemnation of the horrors of war. Some of Owen's most famous poems include "Anthem for Doomed Youth," "Dulce et Decorum Est," and "Strange Meeting." His work was published posthumously after he was killed in action in France in November 1918, just one week before the Armistice that ended the war. Today, Owen's poetry is widely studied and admired for its powerful and moving depiction of the realities of war, and he is remembered as a significant voice in the literature of the First World War. </p><h3>Early Life</h3><p class="phContent phcText"> He went to Birkenhead Institute, Liverpool, and Shrewsbury Technical College for his education. He worked as a pupil-teacher in a poor country parish before being forced to abandon his plans to study at the University of London. Before, he took up a teaching position in Bordeaux due to a lack of funds. <h4>How Old Was Wilfred Owen When He Joined the Army?</h4> <h5>Wilfred Owen was 22 years old when he joined the British Army. He was born on March 18, 1893 and enlisted in the army in October 1915.</h5> While fighting on the Somme in 1917, he suffered a serious concussion and 'trench-fever,' and took time recovering at Craiglockart War Hospital in Edinburgh. Then, he met Siegfried Sassoon who read his poetry, suggested ways to enhance them, and encouraged him greatly. He was posted back to France in 1918 where he won the MC before being killed on the Sombre Canal a week before the Armistice was signed. His poetry owes its beauty to a deep ingrained sense of compassion coupled with grim realism. Owen is also acknowledged as a technically accomplished poet and master of metrical variety.Poems such as 'Dulce Decorum Est' and 'Anthem for doomed Youth' have done much to influence our attitudes towards war.) </p> </div> <div class="phRow phBoxStyle page-template blue-purple"> <h3 class="phPageTitle"> The Best Poem Of Wilfred Owen </h3> <p class="phContent phcText"> <strong>Dulce Et Decorum Est</strong> <br><br> Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, <br/>Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, <br/>Till on the haunting flares we turned out backs, <br/>And towards our distant rest began to trudge. <br/>Men marched asleep.

He wrote some excellent, more light-hearted poetry, as well as the very emotive war poems, and to round off your knowledge of this wonderful poet, I would advise going to the bookshop and purchasing an anthology of his work. A couple of decades ago, there was an excellent book entitled 'Up the Line to Death', which concentrated primarily on the war poems of men such as Owen, Sassoon, Graves, Brooke - but also included a fair share of their other work. See if you can find something similar, and enjoy 'Shadwell Stair', for example. </p> </div> <div class="comment-settings"> <span onclick="voteComment(198924,1)" class="commentst comment-like phCommentsCursor" id="like_198924">309</span> <span onclick="voteComment(198924,0)" class="commentst comment-dislike phCommentsCursor" id="dislike_198924">456</span> <span class="commentst comment-reply phCommentsCursor" dataId="198924">Reply</span> </div> <div class="phSubCommentContent" id="comment_reply_198924"> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment-scope"> <div class="comment votethis" id="vote_1828328"> <div class="comment-img lazyload" data-original="/assets/img/icon-user.jpg"></div> <div class="comment-text"> <div class="comment-title"> <a href="/keiran-maye/" title="Keiran Maye">Keiran Maye</a> <span class="comment-published">12 November 2012</span> </div> <p class="comment-desc"> Excellent poem.
