Your taste in poetry is very nice.

By the way, Alex what are you holding in your right hand ? Is that a shell ???!
Seems a bit dangerous , donÂ´t you think so ?

That's a Vietnam-era Mk.2 US Hand grenade. However, the grenade was also used in WWI, So I suppose it fits with the look seeing how Dulce et Decorum est is about WWI. Probably unbeknown to the poster.

Little bit of insight for you there. + It's not dangerous until the pin on the grenade is pulled..

I love that poem:]
and others by Wilfred Owen, he really described the horrors of war quite vividly, and this poem almost brought me to tears the first time I read it.
Great outfit though :] hahahh hypeeeeee.
