Jessie Pope (1868 - 1941)

Jessie Pope (18 March 1868 – 14 December 1941) was an extremely patriotic English poet, writer and journalist, who remains best known for her patriotic motivational poems published during World War I. Wilfred Owen directed his 1917 poem Dulce et Decorum Est at Pope, whose literary reputation has faded into relative obscurity as those of war poets such as Owen and Siegfried Sassoon have grown.
