On June 4th, 1916, he was commissioned in the Manchester Regiment. His early training took place in London, where he visited the Poetry Bookshop—Harold Monro was “very struck” by some sonnets of Owen’s, and “told me what was fresh and clever, and what was second-hand and banal; and what Keatsian, and what ‘modern’,” (letter of March 5th, 1916). Military training he found, as most ‘temporary’ soldiers find it, both arduous and tedious; apart from the discipline it inculcated, it was inevitably a playing-at-soldiers which could be only the sketchiest preparation for the realities of active service.
