Some suggestions:

  • Rather than a “semi-autobiographical trilogy”, it might be more accurate to call this a “lightly-fictionalised autobiography”.
  • Craiglockhart was a military hospital for serving officers and, while there, Sassoon was still in the Army.
  • When he went back to active service, he was posted to Ireland before going to Egypt and Palestine.
  • Later, when invalided from the Western Front to London, there is no mention in the 1972 edition of victory celebrations.
  • There have been many editions, so it might be helpful to note the first two [Source: http://catalogue.bl.uk] which were:

Sherston’s Progress (London: Faber & Faber 1936) The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston. (Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man. Memoirs of an Infantry Officer. Sherston’s Progress) (London: Faber & Faber 1937) The Lawless One (talk) 16:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
