To most of those acquainted with his name he is essentially the fox hunting man, the infantry officer, the poet of the First World War. Few know him for what he was beneath outward appearances: prophet, sage, pilgrim, a Mister Valiant for Truth going to the Celestial City. One could indict the whole age of ours out of his mouth. From the outset he saw that man unaided was incapable of saving himself and said so, but he could not hand out ready answers to life&#8217;s problems. He had to face them in his own person.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e57b435 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e57b435\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: red;\"> SASSOON: Had I been writing my own story I should have begun as follows: &#8220;Once upon a time there was boy who was born in September 1886 at a house in Kent. He had two brothers. After 1891 we did not see our father very often. Our mother was unhappy because he had gone away to London and would not speak to her any more.\nIn 1895, when I was eight, Pappy died. I wondered how long I ought to go on crying about him, for I felt as if I should never stop. Mrs Mitchell took my brothers to the Jewish cemetery in London. I was too upset to go. It was no consolation to assume that he had gone straight to heaven, like Grandmama Thorneycroft &#8211; entering by a different gate owing to his being buried in Hebrew instead of in English.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1c8551 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1c8551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: purple;\">(BRING UP PLAINCHANT AGAIN AND TAKE UNDER) <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27ad8b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27ad8b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: green;\"> DAME FELICITAS: I first wrote to Siegfried Sassoon in 1959.
