About Suicide in the Trenches
"Suicide in the Trenches" is one of the many war poems the English poet Siegfried Sassoon composed in response to World War I, reflecting his own service in the conflict. Sassoon was an upper-class officer who eventually opposed the war, but he never lost his admiration for the common soldiers who had to fight it. It was first published 23 February 1918 in Cambridge Magazine, then in Sassoon's collection: Counter-Attack and Other Poems. The poem is written in iambic tetrameter and consists of twelve lines in three stanzas.
