The War Poems. First edition.The volume collects 63 poems, most written while the poet was recovering from his injuries in hospital. "Sassoon's savagely realistic and compassionate war poems established his stature as a fully fledged poet, and despite all his later prose and verse, and his growing aversion to the label, it was mainly as a war poet that he was regarded for the rest of his life" (ODNB).
