=POEM:= Rupert Brooke // A Channel Passage: //

"The damned ship lurched and slithered. Quiet and quick My cold gorge rose; the long sea rolled; I knew I must think hard of something, or be sick; And could think hard of only one thing--you! You, you alone could hold my fancy ever! And with you memories come, sharp pain, and dole. Now there's a choice--heartache or tortured liver! A sea-sick body or a you-sick soul! Do I forget you? Retchings twist and tie me, Old meat, good meals, brown gobbets, up I throw. Do I remember? Acrid return and slimy, The sobs and slobber of a last year's woe. And still the sick ship rolls. 'Tis hard, I tell ye, To choose 'twixt love and nausea, heart and belly."

Rupert Brooke looked at the war as a quite and quick death. He tried to explain that even though we are still fighting the pain of the memoirs will never go away. He wanted the war to end. He told the people who believed in war, that they were like an "a sea-sick body or a sea-sick soul!" Rupert Brooke didn’t want this heartache or tortured liver any longer.

One part of going to war was the enlistment and training of new recruits. Of the cores the Corse there was no shortage of volunteers. As they entered the war resources became importation. Little things such as paper needed to be watched on how much was being used. The old size of paper was 11x14. Once they needed to watch there resources and save as much as they could they cut it down to only 9x12. With the paper being smaller it got harder for people to read the music. Music was importation in the war it helped give the troops something to fight for. It helped them keep going and the songs they sang kept there spirit up so they could win the war.
