Notes

  • Here McDougall considers the brutality and mindless violence of war. Although the poem does not specifically mention World War I, it clearly alludes to and was intended as a critique of the war. It is an interesting example of the kind of anti-war literature which could pass official censorship in Australia in the early stages of World War I.
