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
