Siegfried Sassoon
Alternative Names: | Sassoon, Siegfried Loraine |
Birth Year: | 1886 |
Death Year: | 1967 |
Notes: | English poet, writer, and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches, and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war |
