Answer:
The poem "After Blenheim" is an anti war poem which reflects the horrors of the war like burned houses, civilian casualties, rotten corpses, death of
newborn babies and pregnant women. It is however ironical as it glorifies the outcome of the war in the form of great victory. Although Old Kaspar is aware of the damage caused by the war, even to his own family, yet he seems to be more interested of the victory achieved in the war. It is also ironical that the masses are lured by the leaders into believing the importance of victory rather than it's purpose for the common man. This exposes the pointlessness of the war.
