In the excerpts from "Suicide in the Trenches" by Siegfried Sassoon and "Dulce Et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen there are a few lines that show how painful and filty the conditions faced by the soliders in World War I really were.

<em>"Suicide in the Trenches" by Siegfried Sassoon</em>

<em />

"In winter trenches, cowed and glum,

With crumps and lice and lack of rum,"

These lines show that the soldiers were sad and would submit to what others said through intimidation. They were surrounded by loud thudding noises, had lice, and didn't have any rum. The soldiers were being tested physically, mentally, and emotionally with all of this.

<em>"Dulce Et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen</em>

"Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud

Of vile, incurable sores on innocent

tongues,"

These lines show how strange and alien the trenches felt. Many of the soldiers were physically and mentally damaged in a way that could never be repaired.

This flashback occurs after the boys stop in Kabati and see survivors fleeing from Mogbewmo. Beah chose to provide this flashback because of the fact that it gives the reader a little historical background and also provides for the story the comparison between civil war and independence. 
<span>System Answer: Beah provides this flashback to his father's words after he, Junior, and Talloi give up their attempts to head back to Mogbwemo. From the verandah of their grandmother's abandoned home, they had witnessed victims from the rebel attack pass. The boys give up hope on Mogbwemo and head back to Mattru Jong. At this moment, Beah chooses to reflect on his father's words. Based on the information provided in the flashback, I think Beah is doing two things: he's both informing the audience of a bit of Sierra Leone's history as well as asking the readers to reflect on why this war was happening. There are some, according to Beah, that believed the civil war was one of revolution. Yet, the actions of the revolutionaries, which Beah had just witnessed, were awful, violent, and senseless. All that was left, in Beah's words, is fear—a fear that didn't have any answers, justice, or rationale for its victims.</span>
