Who detailed his experiences before and during World War I in Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man, and Memoirs of an Infantry Officer?
Memoirs of an Infantry Officer Memoirs of an Infantry Officer Memoirs of an Infantry Officer is a novel by Siegfried Sassoon, first published in 1930. It is a fictionalised account of Sassoon's own life during and immediately after World War I. Soon after its release, it was heralded as a classic and was even more successful than its predecessor, "Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man". Sassoon's account of his experiences in the trenches during World War I, between the spring of 1916 and the summer of 1917, creates a picture of a physically brave but self-effacing and highly insecure individual. The narrative moves from the trenches
Memoirs of an Infantry Officer In 1981 Paul Hogarth produced illustrations for the book, which were the subject of an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum during 2014. Sassoon presented his own experiences in novelistic form and therefore opted to use pseudonyms in place of names in his "George Sherston" trilogy (George Sherston being Sassoon's alter ego). Other notable characters in the book include Sassoon's contemporary Robert Graves, who appears in the book as 'David Cromlech', and 'Dick Tiltwood' (Sassoon's pseudonym for David Cuthbert Thomas). Both men convalesced at Somerville College, Oxford during the war. Memoirs of an Infantry Officer Memoirs of an Infantry
