Implicit in answer.

Wilfrid Owen, before his own untimely death, wrote with great venom against the futile propaganda of war and he quoted the Latin greats "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"

But it must read in the context of the preceding lines for he calls it "the old lie"....

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in.
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
