Latin saying (taken from an ode by Horace). The words were widely understood and often quoted at the start of the First World War. The full saying ends the poem: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country

The phrase "dulce et decorum est" is a PARTIAL quotation from the longer "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" which means [approximately] 'it is sweet and beautiful to die for your native land'.

This is Latin. It means, "It is sweet and decorous to die for one's country".
