Biographical History
Siegfried Sassoon was a British novelist, poet, and biographer.
Siegfried Sassoon was an English writer, best remembered for the haunting poems written while serving in World War I. Born into a wealthy family in Kent, his early poetry reflected the life of a cultivated country gentleman. He served with distinction in the trenches of World War I, and earned popular and critical acclaim for the harsh, realistic verse he wrote based on his experiences. After the war he continued to write, and produced some popular novels; he also involved himself with politics and lectured on pacifism. Along with Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen, he will always be remembered for showing the horrifying human cost of the war in his poems.

Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a British poet and writer whose work was strongly influenced by World War I. Sassoon, commissioned in the Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1915, served in France and was awarded the MC for bravery under fire. He was wounded in 1917 and, during his convalescence, began his critique of the conduct of the war. Sassoon believed that the war had become one of aggression and conquest rather than defense and liberation, sentiments articulated in his letter of protest read before the House of Commons 15 June 1917 and published in the London Times the following day. It was during this time that he wrote the war poems "The Old Huntsman" (1917) and "Counter Attack" (1918). Late in life, he converted to the Roman Catholic church and wrote the spiritual anthology, The Path to Peace (1960), printed and published by the nuns of Stanbrook Abbey.
In January 1957 Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), poet and author, began corresponding with Mother Margaret Mary (McFarlin) of the Convent of the Assumption, a correspondence which led directly to his being received into the Roman Catholic Church in August of that year.
