Siegfried Sassoon criticised a war that he felt was being unjustly prolonged by the politicians without feeling the need to resign his commission (and instead was labelled as suffering from shellshock and bundled off to Craiglockhart). Yet who today would say that his stance was reprehensible?
I appreciate Sassoon was prepared (and keen) to serve back at the front but my point is that his vocal anti-war protests were made while he was still a serving officer.
