Description Here is the gate "Menin Gate" As it is called. Upon it is listed all the dead of world war one.
A poem was written for this Gate.



Who will remember, passing through this gate,
The unheroic Dead who fed the guns?
Who shall absolve the foulness of their fate,
Those doomed, conscripted, victorious ones?
Crudely renewed, The Salient holds its own.
Paid are its dim defenders by this pomp;
Paid, with a pile of peace-complacent stone,
The armies who endured that sullen swamp.

Here was the worlds worst wound.



I'll finish it later.
