Charles Wolfe is best remembered for his poem, "The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna", written in 1816 and much collected in 19th and 20th century anthologies. The poem first appeared anonymously in the "Newry Telegraph" of 19 April 1817, and was re-printed in many other periodicals. But it was forgotten until after his death when Lord Byron drew the attention of the public to it. Wolfe's only volume of verse, "Poetical Remains" appeared in 1825 with "The Burial of Sir John Moore" and fourteen other verses of an equally high standard.
