Last Post, written to mark the death of the last British soldiers fighting in WWI.Two of the last British survivors of World War I have died. Henry Allingham's funeral takes place today, with the funeral of Harry Patch to follow next week. To mark the occasion, we asked Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, to write a poem.
Last Post
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
from BBC News: Poem for the last of WWI
