Updated - Monday, 5 August, 2002 Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was born into a wealthy family on 8 September 1886 in Kent. After studying at Marlborough College Sassoon attended Clare College, Cambridge, but left without graduating in 1907 (he was subsequently made an Honorary Fellow in 1953). For the following eight years Sassoon lived the life of a country gentleman, spending his time hunting, playing cricket and golf, and writing poetry, the latter of which he had privately printed and which made little impact critically. With the onset of the war, and at the age of 28, Sassoon enlisted first as a cavalry trooper in the Sussex Yeomanry before transferring to the Royal Welch Fusiliers as an officer in May 1915, where he met Robert Graves . He quickly developed the nickname 'Mad Jack' for his fearless courage on the Western Front, often volunteering to lead night raids. Sassoon was awarded the Military Cross in June 1916 for assisting a wounded man back to British lines while under fire. After being wounded in April 1917 Sassoon was sent back to England for recuperation. Sassoon had meanwhile developed increasingly angry feelings concerning the conduct of the war. This led him to publish, in

After Marlborough College he went to Clare College, Cambridge , but left without a degree. For the next eight years lived the life of a country gentleman. He spent his tie hunting, playing sports and writing poetry. Published privately, Sassoon's poetry made very little impact on the critics or the book buying public. On the outbreak of the First World War Sassoon enlisted as a cavalry trooper in the Sussex Yeomanry. In May 1915 Sassoon became an officer in the Royal Fusiliers, and was posted to the Western Front in France. Considered to be recklessly brave, he soon obtained the nickname 'Mad Jack'. In June 1916 he was awarded the Military Cross for bringing a wounded man back to the British lines while under heavy fire. While in France he met the p oets Robert Graves and Wilfred Owen After being wounded in April 1917, Sassoon was sent back to England. Sassoon had grown increasingly angry about the tactics being employed by the British Army and in July 1917 published a Soldier's Declaration , which announced that "I am making this statement as an act of willful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the war is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it."

JOINT MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS WITH WOA Biography Siegfried Loraine Sassoon was born on September 8 th Having dropped out of his degree course at Clare College, Cambridge, and lived for a time in London while vainly attempting to carve himself a literary career, Sassoon managed one minor commercial success with The Daffodil Murderer , a parody of John Masefield. Some of his other verse was privately published, without acclaim, and then came the First World War. Sassoon joined up on the day before war was declared, and went into the Sussex Yeomanry as a mere trooper, in the hope of being able to keep his horse. He saw no action for ?over a year. It was only when, after being incapacitated in a fall, he determined to start afresh with a commission in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, that his military career really began. During his time at the Western Front, Sassoon became friendly with two men who were formative influences on his life. One was the younger poet, Robert Graves, who encouraged Siegfried to look with new eyes on his surroundings. The other was David Thomas, who was tragically killed in 1916. This death, combined with the loss of his brother Hamo in a naval action, caused Sassoon great emotional turmoil. A sympathetic picture of his suffering is drawn by Graves in

Siegfried Sassoon Biography Influence of the Great War Selections Return home Biography Siegfried Sassoon was born in Kent in 1886. His Jewish father left his mother when Sassoon was only five, so he was raised by his mother. The society in which Sassoon lived as a boy was pastoral and traditional. Sassoon was sent to Marlborough College and then to Clare College at Cambridge. He first studied law, but then began to study history. He did not obtain a degree at Cambridge and returned to his well-to-do rural life. Sassoon spent much of his time in cricket, fox-hunting, book-collecting, and poeticising. He privately published nine volumes of his poetry between the ages of nineteen and twenty-six. This poetry has been described as "Keatsian and Tennysonian verse." Edmund Blunden observed that "no poet of twentieth-century England, to be sure, was originally more romantic and floral than young Siegfried Sassoon from Kent." Influence of the Great War The war changed everything for Sassoon. On the morning of August 5, 1914, at the age of twenty-eight, he was in uniform as a calvary trooper. Shortly after that, he was transferred to the Royal Welch Fusiliers as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry, and was in action in France. He was initially very patriotic and enthusiastic, but he soon became appalled by the war. Nonetheless, Sassoon was a brave soldier, nicknamed "Mad Jack" by his men. Sassoon's "war on the war," as it was described by Blunden, began with anti-war poems collected in The Volume, "The Old Huntsman," in May of 1917. Two months later, he issued "A Soldier's Declaration" and was taken in front of a medical review board, which sent him to a mental sanitarium in Scotland. Wilfred Owen, who was also an early twentieth-century poet, sought him out in order to praise his poetry. Sassoon soon "recovered" and returned to the front with his men. In June of 1918, he finished "Counter-Attack and Other Poems." In July, he was wounded in the head and sent home. Sassoon's final work occupied the rest of his time. He began it in 1926 and finished it in 1945. The work consisted of six volumes of writing which took him from one war to another.

"Call to arms." The reviewer notes, "Conventional wisdom holds that a select group of World War I poets and writers, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen among them, forever changed the way we see war. In The Great War and Modern Memory (1976) historian and literary critic Paul Fussell argued that these groundbreaking writers transformed our perception of warfare from a heroic enterprise for brave soldiers to a disillusioning spectacle of waste in which youth are butchered by new and terrible technologies of death....Allen J.

His six volumes of partly fictionalized memoirs are a detailed record of the sensibilities of his age. Siegfried Sasson was born in Brenchley, Kent, on Sept. 8, 1886, and spent his childhood at the family home in Weirleigh, in the protected and somewhat rarefied atmosphere of a family near the center of the late Victorian and Edwardian literary and artistic world. He was formally educated at Marlborough School and at Clare College, Cambridge, and began publishing poems privately in 1906. However, Sassoon's distinctive voice was not heard until the publication of his war poemsin The Old Huntsman (1917) and Counter-attack (1918). He was the first of the younger Georgian poets to react violently against sentimentally patriotic notions of the glories of war; these poems have an extraordinary vigora stridency of tone, in factexpressing with unconcealed irony and in colloquial terms a passionate hatred of the horrors of war. Some of Sassoon's contemporaries produced poems that addressed more seriously the confusion of values that World War I revealed; but none responded with such passion or with such hatred of the ignorance and folly that permitted such pain.

The barrage roars and lifts. Then, clumsily bowed With bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear, Men jostle and climb to, meet the bristling fire. Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear, They leave their trenches, going over the top, While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists, And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists, Flounders in mud.

Web Buzzle.com Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Visual Arts Siegfried Sassoon - War Poet Siegfried Sassoon is known primarily for his stirring anti-war poems and his beautifully-worded 'Declaration Against War'. Background: The English Poet and Novelist, Siegfried Sassoon, was born on 8 September 1886 in Weirleigh House, Matfield Village, Kent. His upper-class and very wealthy parents – his father, Alfred Sassoon, was a Sephardic Jew and his mother, Theresa Thornycroft, a Protestant – had married over the objections of the orthodox Sassoon family, but, unfortunately, the marriage broke up when Siegfried was five; perhaps the reason was his father's contracting tuberculosis, which was then considered incurable and likely to endanger the entire family. His father died four years after the divorce and Mrs. Sassoon brought up her children alone. Siegfried was educated, in turns, at the New Beacon Preparatory School in Kent, Marlborough Grammar School in Wiltshire, and Clare College in Cambridge. He studied Law and History, but dropped out in 1907 without getting a degree. His rich background didn't necessitate settling upon a career and he was content to spend his time socializing, fox-hunting, and playing cricket. His keen bent for poetry was encouraged by his artistic mother, but he didn't make any special mark here either until his 1913 parody 'The Daffodil Murderer' of John Masefield's poem 'The Everlasting Mercy'. This brilliant parody brought him to the notice of the literary men of the time, and the subsequent poems he wrote and published established his reputation further. However, a leisurely life devoted to poetry and writing was out of the question.
