CONTEXT

AURAL DEVICES
-Cacophony
Cacophony is used effectively throughout the poem to expose the harsh truths of war. In this way the aural sounds of the poem mimic the themes and issues expressed by the poem. Lines like, “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,” (2) and “guttering, choking, drowning” (16) reiterate this.
