For passivified verbs, should they be placed before or after nouns:
1 "The captured soldiers were sent to a detention camp."
2 "The soldiers captured were sent to a detention camp."
3 "The detention processed the captured soldiers."
4 "The detention processed the soldiers captured."
Are sentences 2 and 4 more poetic/formal than sentences 1 and 3, respectively?
1 "The captured soldiers were sent to a detention camp."
2 "The soldiers captured were sent to a detention camp."
3 "The detention processed the captured soldiers."
