Who was He? Poet and Writer. Date and Place of Birth: 8th September 1886, Brenchley, Kent, England. Christened Siegfried Louvaine Sassoon. Family Background: Second of three sons of Alfred Sassoon who was from a family descended from oriental Jews and Theresa Thorneycroft from a family of artists. Education: Marlborough School. Clare College, Cambridge. (Studied law and history but left before he completed his degree.) Chronology: After leaving Cambridge University he lived the life of a country gentleman and filled his days engaging in sports and writing poetry. His verses were not noticed either by the critics or the book buying public. Joined up on the 2nd August two days before the Outbreak of the First World War as a cavalry trooper in the Sussex Yeomanry. Became an officer in the Royal Fusiliers and was posted to the Western Front. He was christened "Mad Jack" by the other soldiers as they thought him recklessly brave. (November 1st) His younger brother Hamo was buried at sea after being mortally wounded at Gallipoli. (March 18th) Second Lieutenant David Thomas (Dick Tiltwood of "Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man") was killed whilst out with a wiring party on the Western front. He was awarded the Military Cross for bringing back a wounded man to safety under heavy gunfire when his platoon was involved in a raid on the Kiel trench. During the first day of the Battle of the Somme he was held in reserve in support trenches opposite Fricourt. He was moved up to the front on July 4th.

Siegfried Sassoon by William L. Anderson Siegfried Sassoon was a decorated British officer who spent much of World War I at the front. His poetry not only graphically describes the hellish madness of the battle front, but also is known for its bitterness, as the men around him died for absolutely nothing but for the egos of the political classes of Britain and Europe (and later the United States). Does It Matter? For people will always be kind, And you need not show that you mind When the others come in after hunting To gobble their muffins and eggs. There's such splendid work for the blind; And people will always be kind, As you sit on the terrace remembering And turning your face to the light. You can drink and forget and be glad, And people won't say that you're mad;

Z Siegfried Sassoon Biography Siegfried Loraine Sassoon (September 8, 1886 - September 1, 1967) was an English poet and author. He became known as a writer of satirical anti-war verse during World War I, but later won acclaim for his prose work. Sassoon was born in Matfield, Kent, to a Jewish father and English mother. His father, Alfred, one of the wealthy Sassoon merchant family, was disinherited for marrying outside the faith. His mother, Teresa, belonged to the Thornycroft family, sculptors responsible for many of the best-known statues in London her brother was Sir Hamo Thornycroft. There was no German blood in Siegfried's family; he owed his unusual first name to his mother's predilection for the operas of Wagner. His middle name was taken from the surname of a clergyman with whom she was friendly. Sassoon was educated at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, and at Clare College, Cambridge, where he studied both law and history from 1905 to 1907. However, he dropped out of university without a degree, and spent the next few years hunting, playing cricket, and privately publishing a few volumes of not very highly acclaimed poetry. His income was just enough to prevent his having to seek work, but not enough to live extravagantly. His first real success was The Daffodil Murderer, a parody of a work by John Masefield. Sassoon's periods of duty on the Western Front were marked by recklessly brave actions, including the single-handed capture of a German trench in the Hindenburg Line. He often went out on night-raids and bombing patrols, and demonstrated ruthless efficiency as a company commander. Deepening depression at the horror and misery the soldiers were forced to endure produced in Sassoon a paradoxically manic courage, and he was nicknamed "Mad Jack" by his men for his suicidal exploits. Despite having been decorated for bravery, he decided, in 1917, to make a stand against the conduct of the war. One of the reasons for his violent anti-war feeling was the death of his friend, David Cuthbert Thomas (called "Dick Tiltwood" in the Sherston trilogy). Sassoon's close relationship with Thomas was a tacit admission of his own homosexuality, which he would spend several years attempting to overcome.

Poems by Wilfred Owen Terms Contents Introduction by Siegfried Sassoon Preface ... Appendix Introduction by Siegfried Sassoon n writing an Introduction such as this it is good to be brief. The poems printed in this book need no preliminary commendations from me or anyone else. The author has left us his own fragmentary but impressive Foreword; this, and his Poems, can speak for him, backed by the authority of his experience as an infantry soldier, and sustained by nobility and originality of style. All that was strongest in Wilfred Owen survives in his poems; any superficial impressions of his personality, any records of his conversation, behaviour, or appearance, would be irrelevant and unseemly. The curiosity which demands such morsels would be incapable of appreciating the richness of his work. The discussion of his experiments in assonance and dissonance (of which ~Strange Meeting~ is the finest example) may be left to the professional critics of verse, the majority of whom will be more preoccupied with such technical details than with the profound humanity of the self-revelation manifested in such magnificent lines as those at the end of his ~Apologia pro Poemate Meo~, and in that other poem which he named ~Greater Love~. The importance of his contribution to the literature of the War cannot be decided by those who, like myself, both admired him as a poet and valued him as a friend. His conclusions about War are so entirely in accordance with my own that I cannot attempt to judge his work with any critical detachment. I can only affirm that he was a man of absolute integrity of mind. He never wrote his poems (as so many war-poets did) to make the effect of a personal gesture. He pitied others; he did not pity himself. In the last year of his life he attained a clear vision of what he needed to say, and these poems survive him as his true and splendid testament.

Poet Siegfried Sassoon in Ireland This controversial war hero finds calm, amid the stirrings of revolution, in the countryside of Cork and Limerick By Kieron C. Punch Siegfried Sassoon, 1916 O n April 16, 1917, Siegfried Sassoon, an officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and arguably Britain's greatest war poet, was wounded by a German sniper while leading his company in an attack at Fontaine-les-Croisilles. While recovering from his wounds in England, Sassoon's growing anger at the political mismanagement of the war compelled him to write a scathing attack, which achieved public notoriety after being read aloud in the House of Commons, "I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the war is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it."

"https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); Siegfried Sassoon is recognized as one of the giants of war literature in the English-speaking world. A British gentleman-turned-soldier, his writings, including devastating sketches of trench life published even as the war raged, speak to the universality of the war experience. After the battle of Verdun ended in December, 1916, the burden of the war effort shifted to the British and the civilian army that was raised. Many men joined in a rush of patriotic fever and at first there weren't enough uniforms and rifles to go around. Even advance training for officers could be comical, as Sassoon recorded: Memories of an Infantry Officer By Siegfried Sassoon Sometimes a renowned big-game hunter gave us demonstrations of the art of sniping. He was genial and enthusiastic; but I was no good at rifle-shooting... A gas expert from G.H.Q. would inform us that 'gas was still in its infancy.' (Most of us were either dead or disabled before gas had had time to grow up.) But the star turn in the classroom was a massive sandy-haired Highland Major whose subject was 'The Spirit of the Bayonet.' He spoke with homicidal eloquence... Man, it seemed, had been created to jab the life out of the Germans. The hear the Major talk, one might have thought that he did it himself every day after breakfast.
