Overlong 'works' section

The Works section of this article was incredibly long, and yet at the same time not exhaustive, as it is missing works which are elsewhere in the article is referred to as one of his best known works (The Four). It is largely a list of external links to archive.org, except that it doesn't actually have a complete list, with at most half of them linked. This sort of bibliography is not encyclopedic, especially since there is a separate page for his bibliography, and it feels like original research, as I don't see a source for the list.

I have removed this section and moved it to the bibliography page, where it makes more sense to exist at all. Smith(talk) 16:32, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

First World War

As a page in the "English World War I poets" category (which is eminently correct), there's very little talk of his World War I poetry or other works. I've added a bit from Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory but I'm sure there's more to document here. RexSueciae (talk) 20:12, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
