Benediction
The story of Siegfried Sassoon, a soldier and poet who lived from 1886 to 1967 and was honored for his bravery on the Western Front. He is best known for his angry and caring poems about the First World War, which won him praise from both the public and critics. Sassoon avoided the sentimentality and patriotism of many war poets. Instead, he wrote about the horror and brutality of trench warfare and made fun of generals, politicians, and churchmen for their incompetence and blind support of the war.
