not to steal your thunder my lawnmower fiend (invictus that is!) 
i have to add some things.
we had a class outing around std7 to go and see a movie "all quiet on the western front" this was to highlight the typical era and conditions that faced the war poets. it left a serious impact on me. i bought the DVD a couple of months ago and watched it, normally i forget movies, this one i did not! it left me cold, oddly as does the poetry. kind of a morbid facination.
my particular bent is towards sea poetry
Sea Fever - by John Masefield
The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A Sea Dirge - by Lewis Carroll
i can post them up!
