WW1 literature, why are there so many references to birds and larks?

I’ve noticed this a lot, for example:
Birdsong -Sebastian Faulks
In Flanders Fields -John McCrae
Returning We Here the Larks -Isaac Rosenberg
Yeah, probably sounds like a stupid question. I was just curious about the larks in particular, I guess.

They represent freedom. Something that 1914-1918 life did not embody. Many were forced into war and the females werent exactly prepared. Nature was the only free object, free as in available to everyone and free in the sense that it wasnt controlled or regimented.
