"How to Die" is about exactly what it sounds like; how to die. It starts off with an account which one can choose to believe or not believe as being real, of a soldier's death, making it sound like a beautiful, well thought out thing. at the time it just wasn't done to talk about soldiers dying in anything less than a heroic way so if you listened to what people were saying you could believe very easily that it was nothing incredibly horrible. In the poem, however, the public are speaking freely about how they really die and the author, Sassoon, calmly lets us know that this is not the case, as I'm sure people would have been trying to do if the truth of their sons death were to become public knowledge.
