@clydewell No, I don't think you read it wrongly at all. Initially, she was selfish but it was the selfishness of youth where she was taken up wholly with her ambitions to go to Oxford. That lack of awareness was not unique; many thought it would 'all be over by Christmas'. Better understanding produced unselfishness later, in her work as a VAD and her offer to marry Victor. Afterwards, she became a tireless campaigner for pacifism. Her daughter noticed that Vera never laughed unreservedly.

@TheTubeMouse Do you know reading 'Testament of Youth' I found her a pretty selfish person in a way. Perhaps I read it wrong.

"Suicide in The Trenches" is my favourite of Sassoon's poems.

What utter non-sense that American mumbles. The 30 Years War, the Napoleonic Wars - wars fought one on one with dignity? Bollocks!

I think the comment at 2.38 is interesting given the fact that dead soldiers were occasionally found with a copy of the Illiad in their pocket. Prose works from the time such as Vera Brittain's 'Testament of Youth' are also well worth reading to get an insight to the mindset of the period.
