Many of us learned the horrors of the First World War through the English War poets: Sassoon, Owen and Graves. The Scottish War Poets, such as Charles Hamilton Sorley, are less well known but just as poignant in their analysis of the horror of the trenches of the Great War.
Like thousands of his countrymen, Charles Sorley was killed at the Battle of Loos. Gunned down by a sniper at the age of 20, a pencilled manuscript of his greatest poem 'When You See Millions of the Mouthless Dead' was recovered from his kit soon after his death.
Scottish novelist Andrew O鈥橦agan visited the final resting place of Sorley, paying tribute to the poet he believes to be among the finest of the war.
