Siegfried Loraine Sassoon, CBE, MC (8 September 1886 - 1 September 1967) was an English poet, writer, and soldier.
Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the conti.
His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon\'s view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war.
Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War.
