UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. ambassadors from 14 countries whose soldiers fought in World War I have recorded poems about the conflict written by their best-known poets.

Britain’s U.N. Mission opened the exhibition Monday at U.N. headquarters to coincide with the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I, Britain’s entry into the war, and its presidency of the U.N. Security Council this month. It includes posters of the poets and their poems, and a code that can be scanned with smart phones to hear the ambassadors from the onetime warring countries reading their works.
