I suppose that Amis's lack of consideration as a WW2 poet is probably due to his lack of specifically war poems. Though in the Army, he wasn't directly in combat, as far as I recall.

Wain wasn't drafted because he was basically blind in one eye.

Then there were the rather older, but still of military age, "Pylon poets." But I don't think any of them were in the military during the war.
