Benediction
The story of soldier and poet Siegfried Sassoon (1886–1967), who was decorated for bravery on the Western Front and is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems about the First World War, which brought him public and critical acclaim. Rather than the sentimentality and jingoism of many war poets, Sassoon satirized generals, politicians, and church leaders for their incompetence and blind support of the war.
