    If ever a writer needed an introduction Arthur Conan Doyle would not be considered that man. After all, Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the foremost literary detective of any age. Add to this canon his stories of science fiction and horror, his historical novels, his political campaigning, his efforts in establishing a Court Of Appeal and there is little room for anything else. Except he was also a poet.  Not perhaps the finest but his distinctive voice is certainly evident amongst his lines and verses.  And it’s a voice worth listening too; something very different from what you might expect. So without further ado our readers, including Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe bring you the poems of Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Unlike his more famous fellow war poets, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon survived the First World War.   In this collection of 64 poems, first published in 1920,  Sassoon portrays the dehumanizing horror of modern warfare with its staggering death toll, while also satiring the jingoistic fervour of politicians and armchair strategists.   
    Sassoon's own war service fell into two distinct periods.  The first was marked by a number of heroic actions on the battlefield which earned him the Military Cross.  However, after a period of convalescence in 1917, Sasson became a pacifist and refused to return to active duty.  This change of attitude was diagnosed as a psychological disorder and he was posted to Ireland where he trained new recruits.  By the end of the war he had been promoted to captain. For the rest of his long life he remained staunchly anti-war.
