Q The war as seen on the “home front” and on the battlefront was quite different. How did Sassoon attempt to complicate the understanding of the war on the homefront? To what extent had the Great War’s causalities led Sassoon to assign blame for the tremendous loss of life? Who does he blame for the loss of life? To whom does he attribute responsibility? Does he attack or questions specific people and institutions that he sees as guilty for the war? Do you believe that Sassoon was shell shocked? What would your reaction be to reading this statement in the newspaper? The war continued for another year. Did Sassoon’s statement make a difference? Does it matter even if it didn’t? Was Sassoon’s statement righteous or simply wrong?

It is highly ironical that what Sassoon hated immensely only brought him fame and popularity. He hated war but he got fame by writing about war. But Sassoon is remembered in history for the man who protested against war and openly mentioned about the horrors of war in his writings. Yes, he was frustrated with war and he also endured some personal losses in the war. It is true that after a particular point of time the war was nothing but a drag and it is also equally true that the foot soldiers were the most affected ones as they lost their lives or became handicapped. Sassoon here blames the system, the people in power and the authorities for the loss of life. From his letter it is clear that he is attacking specific people and institutions that he sees as guilty for the war. I do not think that he was shell-shocked.
