Art and Literature
The world wars were the breeding grounds for some of the most influential literature of the 20th century. Poems, plays, novels and journalism written during and about the wars remain some of the most well-known and well-studied works of the period. Many of the men and women who wrote them are commemorated by the CWGC. Tell us their stories.
