Outside of the disease, the battle field offered for a truamatic stage for the actors of death. Many of the soldiers in the war were very young and "in the morning of life"; as a result, many of them had never been without the care of loved ones. In order to prepare themselves for the hardships of war, soldiers leaned to cultural values that asserted the values of masculinity, patiotism, and religion.

Many of the show the horrors of war, disillusionment, man 's inhumanities to man, and the grotesqueness of their experiences.

Owen also uses symbol to describe the scene of soldiers dying in the battle field by comparing with actual funeral in church with friends and families grieving his death. However, there are no beautiful calming voice choirs from the church in the battlefield to make the dead person rest in peace; no people to grieve, no funerals there.
