Siegfried was born in Weirligh, Kent, England on September 8, 1886 into a leisurely society of country living. Like many of his contemporaries life changed drastically for him and hard times were upon his family. Early in the Great War Sassoon's brother Hamo was mortally wounded at Gallipolis and sadly died. Hamo's death fuelled Sasson's desire for vengence.
