About this book
LibriVox volunteers bring you 13 recordings of "When You See Millions of the Mouthless Dead" by Charles Hamilton Sorley. This was the Weekly Poetry project for June 28, 2026. ------ This week marks the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the deadliest battles in human history. Charles Hamilton Sorley did not fight there - he was killed at the Battle of Loos in 1915 - but his untitled sonnet, published posthumously in 1916, became closely associated with the Somme because its stark rejection of empty patriotic remembrance resonated after the immense loss. - Summary by Rapunzelina.
