THE FLOWER SHOW CRICKET MATCH Celebrating the 120 th Anniversary of Siegfried Sassoon Siegfried Sassoon's 120th anniversary and his love of cricket, is to be commemorated on Wednesday the 26th of July 2006 when a select Sassoon XI play at Matfield Cricket Club at 2pm. As a boy, Sassoon played for Matfield and the village ground provided the setting for one of Sassoon's most famous pieces of writing – The Flowershow Match - published in his classic Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man. The match has been organised by Bob Miller, a member of the Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship, and it is hoped that the fixture will become an annual event. A trophy will be presented to the winning team by Dennis Silk, a close friend of Sassoon, and former TCCB and MCC President. The Sassoon team will be named the George Sherston XI in celebration of the semi-autobiographical character that Sassoon used in his books. The team will be captained by Andrew Pinnell and made-up of various Sassoon aficionados, plus various members of the PG Woodehouse cricket society – the Gold Bats.

Siegfried Sassoon Sigfried Sassoon was born in London and educated in Marlborough and then later at Cambridge. He served in France from the beginning of the war in the Royal Welch Fusiliers , the oldest Welsh Infantry Unit. Sassoon died in Wiltshire in 1967. Before the end of the war he had published a volume of anti-war poems, called Counter Attack (1918). Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930), records his personal protest against the war. This became the second volume in his trilogy The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston (1937). As an infantry officer, Sassoon distinguished himself by wild and heroic exploits (he subsequently won an M.C., which was a distinguished British award), but ended as an out-spoken pacifist and author of some of the most satirical anti-war poems ever written. His book Collected Poems appeared in 1947, protest statement against the continuation of the war, which was eventually read before the House of Commons on July 30th, and published in The Times the next day. Sassoon then politely went A.W.O.L. (declining to report for further duty), threw his M.C. ribbon into the River Mersey, and waited for martyrdom. However the Army hesitated to punish such a public hero as Sassoon (one whose poetry was read and admired by Churchill, among others), and so a way was found, with the help of fellow poet and Royal Welch Fusilier, Robert Graves who came to Sassoon's rescue, of reasoning that Sassoon's reaction was merely shell-shock, and for sending him to

Survivors
No doubt they'll soon get well; the shock and strain
Have caused their stammering, disconnected talk.

They'll soon forget their haunted nights; their cowed
Their dreams that drip with murder; and they'll be proud

      I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers. I believe that this War, on which I entered as a war of defence and liberation, has now become a war of aggression and conquest. I have seen and endured the sufferings of the troops, and I can no longer be a party to prolong these sufferings for ends which I believe to be evil and unjust.
      I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.
      On behalf of those who are suffering now I make this protest against the deception which is being practised on them; also I believe that I may help to destroy the callous complacency with which the majority of those at home regard the contrivance of agonies which they do not share, and which they have not sufficient imagination to realize.

Fourth Army School, May 1916 Siegfried Sassoon, one of the best known poets to emerge from the First World War, enlisted in the ranks of the Sussex Yeomanry on the outbreak of war in August 1914, and was commissioned the following year into the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Serving as a subaltern on the Western Front, Sassoon gained a distinguished reputation, receiving the Military Cross in June 1916 and earning the nickname "Mad Jack" for his daring exploits in action. Wounded in the shoulder in April 1917, Sassoon was evacuated back to Britain. During his convalescence his discontent with the course of the war became more pronounced, and in July he issued a public declaration of his belief that the war was being deliberately prolonged by those who had the power to end it. Narrowly avoiding a military court martial through the intervention of his friend Robert Graves, the authorities decided that Sassoon's behaviour was a direct result of neurasthenia ("shell-shock"), and he was ordered to Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh where he was placed under the psychiatric treatment of Dr W H R Rivers. The Department holds two main collections relating to Siegfried Sassoon. Of greatest significance are the original manuscript and typescript drafts of Sassoon's autobiographical novel

World War One > Siegfried Sassoon
Siegfried Sassoon was one of the great poets from World War One . The poetry from the likes of Sassoon and Wilfred Owen seemed to many to be an apt summary of the horrors that many had experienced during the war. Siegfried Sassoon was born on September 8 th 1886 in Kent. Born into a reasonably well-off family, Sassoon was educated at Marlborough College and Clare College, Cambridge University where he studied Law and History. However, he left university before graduating but had discovered a love for the poetry of Tennyson and Yeats. Up until the outbreak of the war, Sassoon spent his time living a life of leisure – fox hunting, playing cricket and riding point-to-point. Encouraged by Edward Marsh to write poetry, Sassoon moved to London to immerse himself in literature. He rented out an apartment and in July 1914 met Rupert Brooke there. Though he was short of money and soon in debt, it was the type of experience that he was looking for. However, the war changed all this.

It reproduces here some of the most elegant and blunt poetry with some of the most brilliant visual artistry of the time. Unfortunately the art and poetry describe one of the worst things humans can do to one another. The legalized murder called war. Here then is one poet's view of this odd human pass-time. Siegfried Sassoon was born in Weirleigh, Kent, England on September 8, 1886 into a leisurely society of country living. His father, a Sephardic Jew, and mother, a Catholic, separated when he was five years old. When his father died of Tuberculosis a few short months after the separation¹, his mother was forced to raise Siegfried on her own. ²Siegfried was educated at Marlborough Grammar School and later attended Clare College at Cambridge. His main interests were hunting and poetry. He was an undergraduate at Clare from 1905 to 1907 and was later made an Honorary Fellow in 1953. Five years after leaving Clare College he wrote a parody to the poem "The Everlasting Mercy" by John Masefield . Mr. Masefield was so impressed by the work that he hailed Sassoon as "one of England's most brilliant rising stars...". Sassoon's parody titled "The Daffodil Murderer" was written in December of 1912. Sassoon enlisted in the military at the age of 28 just before the draft and was eventually assigned to the Royal Welch Fusiliers. There he met and befriended the writer

With war on the horizon, a young Englishman whose life had heretofore been consumed with the protocol of fox-hunting, said goodbye to his idyllic life and rode off on his bicycle to join the Army. Siegfried Sassoon was perhaps the most innocent of the war poets. John Hildebidle has called Sassoon the "accidental hero." Born into a wealthy Jewish family in 1886, Sassoon lived the pastoral life of a young squire: fox-hunting, playing cricket, golfing and writing romantic verses. Being an innocent, Sassoon's reaction to the realities of the war were all the more bitter and violent both his reaction through his poetry and his reaction on the battlefield (where, after the death of fellow officer David Thomas and his brother Hamo at Gallipoli, Sassoon earned the nickname "Mad Jack" for his near-suicidal exploits against the German lines in the early manifestation of his grief, when he still believed that the Germans were entirely to blame). As Paul Fussell said: "now he unleashed a talent for irony and satire and contumely that had been sleeping all during his pastoral youth." Sassoon also showed his innocence by going public with his

Siegfried Sassoon (1886 - 1967)
An English war poet, Sassoon was also known for his fictionalised autobiographies, praised for their evocation of English country life. Siegfried Sassoon was born on 8 September 1886 in Kent. His father was part of a Jewish merchant family, originally from Iran and India, and his mother part of the artistic Thorneycroft family. Sassoon studied at Cambridge University but left without a degree. He then lived the life of a country gentleman, hunting and playing cricket while also publishing small volumes of poetry. In May 1915, Sassoon was commissioned into the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and went to France. He impressed many with his bravery in the front line and was given the nickname 'Mad Jack' for his near-suicidal exploits. He was decorated twice. His brother Hamo was killed in November 1915 at Gallipoli.

Navigation Page Siegfried Loraine Sassoon. Siegfried Sassoon Siegfried Sassoon was born at the family home of Weirleigh at Matfield, Kent, England, in 1886, the second son of Alfred and Theresa (née Thornycroft), who subsequently separated when Sassoon was five years old. (Alfred had been disowned by his mother after his marriage to Theresa because she was not a Jew, and Alfred was the first of the Sassoon clan to marry outside the family faith. He died of TB when Sassoon was nine.) Sassoon was educated at Marlborough and then at Clare College, Cambridge. He studied both Law and History at Cambridge before leaving without taking a degree. After leaving Cambridge, Sassoon lived the life of a sportsman, hunting, riding point-to-point races and playing cricket until the outbreak of the War. Although Sassoon wrote poetry before the War he was no more than a minor Georgian poet. His best poem prior to the War was The Daffodil Murderer - a parody of John Masefield's The Everlasting Mercy . Sassoon wrote The Daffodil Murderer one day in December 1913. He had been feeling particularly uninspired about his poetry, and was looking at the books on the shelves in his room out in the Studio when he picked up Masefield's
