Sassoon who is the writer of this poem uses metaphors, listing and repetation to tell the reader what's the big idea which is that who will remember them because people will just walk away and won't remember their names.
"Who will remember, passing through this Gate, the unheroic dead who fed the guns?" This quote show that who will remember them and "unheroic" here means the soilders who went but didn't return.
The writer wants their names to be remembered so he writes "Their names liveth forever" he also uses metaphors for example "the sullen swamps and dead who struggeled in the slime" this leads to the soilders.
