Background
The misery of trench warfare caused men on both sides to kill themselves to
escape the fear and stress
Such men died ingloriously by self-inflicted wounds (SIW). Sassoon chooses
one such figure whose individual story is more impressive than sheets of
statistics. �The soldier is no longer a noble figure�, he wrote in his diary. �He is
merely a writhing insect among this ghastly folly of destruction�.
