Most likely passage for the test:
You hated tours of trenches; you were proud
Of nothing more than having good years to spend;
Longed to get home and join the careless crowd
Of chaps who work in peace with Time for friend.
That's all washed out now. You're beyond the wire:
No earthly chance can send you crawling back;
You've finished with machine-gun fire--
Knocked over in a hopeless dud-attack.
Context: The speaker is addressing his dead officer. He thinks he was a coward. He's glad he's dead, but he wishes it would have been in a decent show. Instead, he died from a dud.
