Dulce et decorum est

Kenneth Branagh reads Wilfred Owen's classic poem "Dulce et decorum est". Owen died in combat 4 November 1918 in Belgium one week before the Armistice. My great-uncle Edmonds Schollaert died in France of pneumonia a month before that. My only quibble with the recording is the non-classical pronunciation of "Dulce", which should be "Dule-Kay".http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wilfred+owen+dulce+et+decorum+est&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=CA3FEF961D9A3AEA642CCA3FEF961D9A3AEA642C
