Description

Siegfried Sassoon is one of the First World War poets whose poetry has defined a generation. He published most of his war poetry in "The Old Huntsman" (1917) and "Counter-Attack" (1918). Chronologically ordered, the poems in this collection act as a timeline for the war, bringing to life the extraordinary experiences of soldiers in that conflict.
