Rupert Brooke was born in Rugby, which is the same town as me, and the statue in the theme pic is in a backwater of Rugby town centre.

As a result, Rupert Brooke's poetry was on the syllabus of every school in the town, for which I'm grateful.

This poem has always struck a chord with with me and inspired by Marz' excellent Wilfred Owen post I wanted to share this with you all.
