There's a misunderstanding here. In World War 1 the soldiers wrote letters to their families and friends. Even poets wrote letters. It is not the case that 'soldiers [wrote] poetry instead of letters. A small number of World War 1 poets became well known.

Soldiers in World War I often turned to poetry as a way to express the intense emotions and experiences they were facing on the front lines. Poetry allowed them to delve deeper into their thoughts and feelings, capturing the Horror and complexity of war in ways that traditional letters could not convey. It became a powerful form of creative expression amidst the chaos and devastation of the war.
