Analysis and comments on Suicide In The Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon

Comment 7 of 7, added on July 4th, 2006 at 9:28 PM.

The poem "sucide in the trenches" has great mean to me and it shows the way that humans can celerbrate the hero's, but forgot the dead hero's. Or the one's that take there life, because the pain of war is to much to bear. This poems rhymth certainly helps with its meaning. In my opinion this poem is the best poem by Sassoon.
