Why does Stephen Spender call the slum children of Tyrol as unsung fighters? What is his appeal for them?

Solution

Stephen Spender points out the grim state of poverty writ large on the poor and skinny faces of slum children. They are cut off from the educated world. These children are unsung fighters since they are struggling to advance in life inspite of inadequate facilities. So the poet appeals to people of all walks of life to come forward and uplift them.
