Comparison:

Both Willy and Danny are dying

"Linda: He’s dying Biff.
Biff: Why is he dying?
Linda: He’s been trying to kill him self.”

"They are hangin’ Danny Deever, you must mark ‘im to ‘is place, For ‘e shot a comrade sleepin’-you must look ‘im in the face;”

They both embarrass/disappoint others

"Linda: Biff, dear, if you don’t have any feeling for him, then you can’t have any feeling for me.
Biff: Sure I can, Mom.
Linda: No. You can’t just come to see me, because 8 love him. He’s the dearest man in the world to me, and I won’t have anyone making him feel unwanted and low and blue. You’ve got to make up your mind now, darling, there’s no leeway any more. Either he’s your father and you pay him that respect, or else you’re not to come here. I know he’s not easy to get along with - nobody knows that better than me - but...”

"Nine ‘undred of ‘is county an’ the Regiment’s disgrace,”

Contrast:

Willy is dying due to him trying to kill himself whereas Danny is dying due to him killing a comrade while he was asleep

Willy is disappointing/embarrassing his sons where as Danny is seen as a disgrace to both his county and his Regiment

Protagonist: Danny Deever

Being hanged for shooting a comrad while he was asleep

"For ‘e shot a comrade sleepin’-you must look ‘im in the face; Nine ‘undred of ‘is county an’ the Regiment’s disgrace,”

Struggled while being hanged

"‘What’s that so black agin the sun?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘It’s not Danny fightin’ ‘ard for life,’ the Colour-Sergeant said. ‘What’s that that whimpers over’ead?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘It’s Danny’s soul that’s passin’ now,’ the Colous-Sergeants said.”

Foreshadowing:

"‘What makes you look so white, so white?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘I’m dreading what I’ve got to watch,’ the Colour-Sergeant said.”
This is foredshadowing that the Colour-Sergeant & Files-on-Parade are going to witness something terrible, which in this case is, the hanging of Danny Deever.

Imagery:

"They ‘ave ‘alted Danny Deever by ‘is coffin on the ground;”
"‘What makes the rear-rank breathe so ‘ard?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘It’s bitter cold, it’s bitter cold,’ the Colour-Sergeant said.”
These two quotes help us put an image as to what is currently happening in the poem. We can imagine Deever being halted near a coffin just for him, & we can imagine the rear-ranks breathing hard & the visibility of their breath due to it being “bitter cold” outside.

Repetition:

"O they’re hangin’ Danny Deever in the mornin’!’”
"While they’re hangin’ Danny Deever in the mornin’.”
The repetition of the Colour-Sergeant saying that they’re hanging Deever in the morning puts emphasis on the event that is to come.

Euphemism:

"‘What’s that so black agin the sun?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘It’s Danny Deever fightin’ ‘ard for life,’ the Colour-Sergeant said. ‘What’s that that whimpers over’ead?’ said Files-on-Parade. ‘It’s Danny’s soul that’s passin’ now,’ the Colour-Sergeant said.”
The use of euphemism allows us to picture this graphic event of the hanging of Deever in a mild way which allows it to be a moderate form of imagery for readers instead of  something too graphic and scarring.
