Summary of Wilfred Owen’s letter to his mother p.

290
The letter he sent to his mother tells the four worst days of Owen’s life.
He was sent in front of the front, in a hole that he calls “No Man’s Land”. His platoon
had to march in the mud, in the darkness, during the explosions, in trenches so full
of water that soldiers could even drown, carrying their heavy equipment.
The situation was critic.
His hole could hold 25 men, with no space left though, there were also 2 feet of
water, in which he wished he could drown.
He concluded with the telling of his move from his “dugout” (the hole) to another
one, which wasn’t really far, but it took him up to 30 minutes to reach, because of
the shooting that was going on.
