| Summary | "With the Colors" by Everard Jack Appleton is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. This book explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the everyday experiences of soldiers, aiming to capture the spirit and emotions associated with serving in the military during a time of conflict. The title itself suggests a focus on the values represented by the flag and the dedication to one’s country. The collection is composed of various pieces that reflect the lives and sentiments of both soldiers and those left at home. Through the voices of soldiers represented in the poems, Appleton evokes a sense of camaraderie, duty, and the struggles faced in military life. For instance, he explores the internal conflicts of young men like Johnny, who wrestle with their feelings of fear and pride as they enlist. The poems also address issues such as loyalty, the sacrifices of soldiers’ families, and the camaraderie shared among troops, all underscored by a tone of devotion to the nation. Overall, "With the Colors" assembles a poignant portrayal of wartime experiences through both personal and shared narratives. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
