"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.

"Attack" by Siegfried Sassoon conveys a sense of fear through vivid imagery detailing the horrors of war, the chaotic and disorienting nature of battle, and the emotional impact on soldiers faced with imminent danger. The poem's stark descriptions and urgent tone capture the fear and uncertainty experienced by soldiers in combat.
The poem "The Call" written by Jessie Pope in 1917 was amended by Siegfried Sassoon to reflect the harsh realities of war, criticizing the glorification of battle and recruitment of young soldiers. Sassoon's revision emphasized the brutal and devastating nature of combat, contrasting with Pope's more patriotic and idealized depiction.
Siegfried Sassoon encouraged Wilfred Owen to express the brutality of war in his poetry and to keep writing despite any obstacles or doubts. Sassoon also provided guidance and mentorship to Owen, helping him refine his style and message as a war poet.

"The Rear-Guard" is a poem written by Siegfried Sassoon during World War I known as a war poem. It reflects the horrors and emotional toll of war on soldiers.
Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen were in the army together but I wouldn't say that they knew each other!Actually Sassoon and Owen did know each other they met in hospital and became friends. they both wrote famous war poems such as 'Attack' and 'Dulce et Decorum est.' which means: it is a great and decorus thing to die for your country. Owen says in the poem that this is a lie and both poets were stongly anti war although they both fought in the war.
