Kipling also addressed this controversy in his poem- “Some die saintly in faith and hope- some die thus in a prison-yard- Some die broken b rape or the rope; Some die easily. This dies hard”. The State inspired and persuaded people to enlist in the light that it was “the right course of action”. To fight for the people of the country, for faith, and for those who had already sacrificed their lives in the war (Shaw Web). Kipling informed that this ideology was a hard concept to grasp in the heat of war and while some died in a state of good faith and hope, what they had experienced did not allow as peaceful a parting as the State portrayed it would be. That in actuality, death was hardly ever kind and often took the lives of soldiers in the harshest ways
