This paper examines the three plays "Journey's End" by R.C. Sherriff, "Post Mortem" by Noel Coward and "For Services Rendered"
by Somerset Maugham and considers how each of them portrays the Great War of 1914-1918. It looks at how they are all anti-war and the differences in the way they treat the subject. It shows how issues with the concept of war and dramatic devices all differ from
playwright to playwright to give an interesting overview of the attitudes to the Great War ten to fifteen years after its end.
