Sigfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a poet and author. He won the Military Cross for outstanding gallantry during WW1, although he was one of the "War Poets" who criticised war in their poetry. He was a lover of Prince Philip of Hesse (see below), and of many other men, including the aesthete, Stephen Tennant. Sassoon married Hester Gatty and they had one son, George.
