Which two parts highlight the psychological consequences of war?
in winter trenches, cowed and glum,
with crumps and lice and lack of rum,
he put a bullet through his brain.
no one spoke of him again.
(siegfried sassoon, "suicid in the trenches")
men marched asleep. many had lost their boots
but limped on, blood-shod. all went lame; all blind;
drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
of tired, outstripped five-nines that dropped behind.
gas! gas! quick, boys! –an ecstasy of fumbling,
(wilfred owen, "dulce et decorum est")

"In Winter trenches, cowed and glum,

With crumps and lice and lack of rum"

"But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;

Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots"

Explanation:

Both the excerpts use a very figurative language to emphasize the catastrophic consequences of the war on the lives of people.

Siegfried Sassoon in the first excerpt describes the conflicts and effects of war which has lead the soldiers in an extreme state of depression symbolized by 'cowed and glum' contrary to the previous 'grin'. 'crumps symbolizes the destruction while 'lice and lack of rum' show the dirtiness of the place.

In the second excerpt by Wilfred Owen portrays the terrible physical state using the metaphor 'drunk with fatigue' and 'deaf even to the state' symbolizes their failure to control their bodies due to the exhaustion as a consequence of war.
