I'm glad William posted Alan Seeger's poem (Post #41 here). Seeger was killed by machine gun fire while leading troops in an attack. It's a small curiosity that Seeger and T. S. Eliot, so different in style, were contemporaries—classmates at Harvard.

See the current New York Review of Books article here regarding WWI & the arts, including some about the poets.
