Siegfried Sassoon

(1886–1967)
Author who acquired notoriety in World War I by winning an MC in the trenches and then throwing it away after his experiences had made him a pacifist. Sent to a hospital near Edinburgh as mentally ill, he met and influenced Wilfred *Owen. His own ferociously bleak war poems were published in two volumes (1917, 1918). The Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man (1928) was the first of a series of autobiographical novels with 'George Sherston' as the central character.
