"Reynolds goes further. He argues that we have "lost touch" with the Great War, in large measure because of a "peculiar British preoccupation" with the poetry rather than the history: "1914-18 has become a literary war, detached from its moorings in historical events". On this account, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon have a lot to answer for."
