The poet James Kirkup uses literary metaphors in this poem of No Men Are Foreign, Class 9 English Beehive Chapter 6. One such metaphor used is the various uniforms that he talks about which the soldiers wear during wars. It shows the various geographic locations, nationalities, caste, creeds etc of the soldiers. With this, he tries to convey that those uniforms might be different but beneath those are human bodies with the same flesh and blood, same feelings and emotions.
