This poem describes a young soldier who seemed happy at first but took his own life in the trenches of World War I. The harsh conditions of trench warfare with its shelling, lice, and lack of supplies led the simple soldier boy to shoot himself. The poem criticizes those on the home front who cheer for the troops without understanding the hell that young soldiers face at war.
