W. (Ernest William) 1866 1921 Hornung, Ernest William Hornung, E.W. Hornung, Ernesto G. E. W. H. H., E. W. The Young Guard Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "The Young Guard" by E. W. Hornung is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically amidst the backdrop of World War I. This compilation reflects the war experience and the impact it had on young men as they faced the tumult of battle. The theme centers on themes of valor, loss, and the harsh reality of war as felt by both soldiers and those waiting for them at home. The poems in "The Young Guard" provide poignant snapshots of life and death during World War I, highlighting both the bravery and the vulnerabilities of young soldiers. Through verses like "Last Post" and "The Ballad of Ensign Joy," Hornung captures the contrasting emotions of pride and sorrow as characters grapple with the duties of war and the indelible consequences that follow. The voice ranges from nostalgic reflections of youth to stark portrayals of sacrifice, ultimately creating a vivid literary tapestry that represents not only the individual experiences of soldiers but also the collective grief and honor of a generation caught up in the realities of conflict.
