- Base_Details abstract "Base Details is a war poem by the English war poet Siegfried Sassoon. In the poem Sassoon condemns what he saw as the incompetence and callous indifference to the soldiers at the front displayed by the staff officers, or "scarlet majors" of the British Army, who stayed at the Base "Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel" and sending "glum heroes up the line to death". Like so many of Sassoon's poems "Base Details" is bitterly sarcastic and utterly derisive of the comfortable establishment that supported the continuation of the war while showing little concern for the people who suffered its consequences. It took place during World War I in France around 1914-1918.The theme is anger and bitterness. This is an attack on those who start wars and send their fellow men to their death. These army officers plan battles from safety of base, and are usually not involved in the fighting. The first two Quartiles are talking about the Majors, in a very sarcastic way, and the last Couplet talks about how the war isn't actually a joke, that it is very serious.".
