HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Sassoon, Siegfried Loraine English poet. His anti-war poems which appeared in The Old Huntsman Counter-Attack (1918), and later volumes, were begun in the trenches during World War I and express the disillusionment of his generation. His later poetry tended towards the reflective and the spiritual. His three fictionalized autobiographical studies, including Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930), and Sherston's Progress (1936), were published together as The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston Educated at Cambridge, Sassoon enlisted in the army in 1915, serving in France and Palestine. Decorated and then wounded in France, he published a manifesto severely criticizing the authorities, A Soldier's Declaration (1917). He was diagnosed as suffering from shell-shock and returned to duty. He wrote volumes of genuine autobiography

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.

    Siegfried Sassoon
    Born 8th. September, 1886, at Matfield, Kent; died 1st. September, 1967, in Heytesbury, Wiltshire.
    British poet. His middle name has been variously given as Louvain ( Chambers Biographical Dictionary , 1997), Lorraine ( The Cambridge Guide to English Literature , 1983, and The New Encyclopedia Britannica , 1984), and Loraine ( The Oxford Companion to English Literature John Stuart Roberts says that his middle name was Loraine, which was chosen by his mother in honour of Canon Loraine who had prepared her for confirmation. His mother also chose the name Siegfried because she admired the operas of Wagner. Siegfried Sassoon was brought up at the family home, known as Weirleigh, Brenchley, Kent. His parents separated when he was five and he saw little of his father who died when he was nine. In the Spring of 1900 he was sent to the New Beacon prep-school at Sevenoaks when thirteen, and then on to Marlborough School in January 1902 when he was fifteen. At the age of nineteen in the Autumn of 1904 he joined Henley House, a crammer school in Frant near Tunbridge Wells. It was here that he met Norman Loder who was the first crush that he admitted to when he later wrote about him in Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man with the pseudonym Denis Milden. In the Autumn of 1905 Siegfried Sassoon went to Clare College, Cambridge, and studied law. He found the subject unimaginative and switched to history but his performance did not improve and he left Cambridge in the Spring of his second year. Norman Loder also went to Cambridge but there is no evidence that they spent any time together.

    The substance of my dreams took fire.
    You built cathedrals in my heart,
    And lit my pinnacled desire.
    You were the ardour and the bright
    Procession of my thoughts toward prayer.
    You were the wrath of storm, the light
    On distant citadels aflare.
    II
    Great names, I cannot find you now
    In these loud years of youth that strives
    Through doom toward peace: upon my brow
    I wear a wreath of banished lives.
    You have no part with lads who fought
    And laughed and suffered at my side.
    Your fugues and symphonies have brought
    No memory of my friends who died.
    III
    For when my brain is on their track,
    In slangy speech I call them back.
    With fox-trot tunes their ghosts I charm.
    'Another little drink won't do us any harm.'
    I think of rag-time; a bit of rag-time;
    And see their faces crowding round
    To the sound of the syncopated beat.
    They've got such jolly things to tell,
    Home from hell with a Blighty wound so neat...
    And so the song breaks off; and I'm alone.

    http://www.firstworldwar.com/poetsandprose/sassoon.htm
    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

    Sassoon, Siegfried
    Siegfried Sassoon was born on 8th September 1886 at Weirleigh, near Paddock Wood in Kent. 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 poets 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."
