Oral Commentary on “Disabled” by Wilfred Owen The poem “Disabled” is taken from Wilfred Owen’s collection of poetry referred to as Trench Poet. It was written in 1917 and tells the story of a soldier who lost his limbs in battle leaving him utterly helpless. It aims to crush the glorified image of war present in the minds of the public. The messages and content present in the poem heavily resemble that of other poems from the collection such as; “The Send-Off”‚ which also uses contrast to

Although the poems Recalling War by Robert Graves and Mental Cases by Wilfred Owen are both concerned with the damage that war does to the soldiers involved‚ they are different in almost every other respect.

By not naming them‚ he makes a representation of what they lost (who they
