Dulce et Decorum est

Description

I know Im late for the comp :p but when I came up with the idea I had to run with it.
to break the concepts down for people curious about it here it goes:
"Dulce et decorum est Pro Patria Mori" is latin for
"its sweet and honourable to die for your country" said by Horace' s Odes a roman philosopher.
that explains the front text and back text in white with the translation at the back
the Image at the back is a famous Photo from the spanish cival war in the 1930's (Rebublicans against the fascist Franco forces) and Invloves a rebublican soilder being shot after charging from a 'dugout'.
And the final piece of text "the old lie" refers to Owen Wilfred's Poem 'Dulce et decorum est' and refers to the image of war being glorious and valient to a lie.
oh and by the way the cannon is just for image balance of the text at the front :)

thats it for the explaination, plz Fav, and whatever you want baby.
;)

vote up me other shirts or, again, whatever you want to do but it would be nice if you would be so kind to do so:
