Why was Siegfried Sassoon famous?

Sassoon was a Lieutenant in the 2nd battalion royal welch fusiliers in the first world war. He was contempary with Robert graves and Wilfed Owen (all three were officers and war poets in the Royal welch). He won the Military Medal for outstanding Bravery, which saved him from the concequences of writing a full page article critisising the war.

The army couldn't court martial a man the'd just awarded medals for bravery to, for cowardice, so they sent him to craiglockhart military psychiatric hospital. Unlike owen, Sassoon and Graves survived the war. (tragically owen died less than a month before the end of the war) Read- Memoirs of an infantry officer- S.

Sassoon, semi autobiographical account of Sassoons time in the trenches Regeneration - Pat Barker (Fiction) deals with the craiglockhart period Goodbye to all that - Robert graves, graves' autobiography. Eye deep in hell - Dr. Dunne (surgeon of the 2nd Bt RWF), autobiography. Thanks, I'll have to read "Memoirs" & "Goodbye" again!
