just a note that you can read Siegfried's Journey, 1916-1920 (published 1945) on the Internet Archive! https://archive.org/embed/in.ernet.dli.2015.209620 this is the vol where he talks about his relationship with Wilfred (on p. 58-76ish)

apparently people took some offense at the time to how he described Wilfred, but honestly i think it's really sweet :(((

#poor siegfried always being misunderstood lol #i'm waiting for a biography of him to come from the library #but i'll be honest that it's really lovely reading siegfried's writing too #siegfried sassoon #wilfred owen #i very much apologize to any kpop stans who follow me that are wondering wtf is on their dash lmao #also just realized that he got divorced in 1945..........i'm connecting the dots #although tbf it makes sense that writing abt this time in his life in general would cause him to not be a Great partner or dad lol #anyway vague timeline: 1945 - siegfried's journey published/divorce from hester #1947: dennis welland reaches out to see if siegfried will help with his thesis on wilfred owen's poetry/siegfried says no lmao #1950: siegfred changes his mind and agrees to meet welland and also annotates his draft thesis with fact/stories abt wilfred #1957: catholicism????
