You’re right of course Ken. Thank you for the correction!

You’ve missed the most important source for this song though. While the Latin is indeed from Horace, the words are better known through Wilfrid Owen’s war poem with the same title. Once read, it is obvious this song is based completely around that poem. At the time The Damned were famous, every person in the UK who had studied their O levels or very new GCSEs would have known that poem very, very well. It remains a classic taught in schools even today – and for damned good reason (pun intended).

The images of a gas attack are horrific. I think the only poem that is just as, if not more, horrific is “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” by Randall Jarrell.
