If my memory serves me correctly, this poem commemorates Armistice Day, which Sassoon spent recovering from wounds in London. It is always interesting to compare Graves, Owen and Sassoon. I’ve always found the dark satire of the war years refreshing, but the elegiac tone of the prose and later poetry is also most attractive.
