Anthem for Doomed Youth & Dulce et Decorum Est

Anthem for Doomed Youth-I have to be completely honest. I do not understand what that poem was about at all. I think it might have been about maybe a war or something and children dying? I am really speechless about this poem.

Dulce et Decorum Est-I have a better understanding of what this poem my be about. I want to say it is actually about a war and describes the different deaths. I like the second stanza the most because I can picture everything the author is saying. I can imagine hundreds of boys running around an open desert. All of them are moving at their own pace but still rushing. With or without a helmet, the war stops for no one.
