The Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship is very sad to announce the death of Peter Owen, the President of our sister-society the Wilfred Owen Association. Although Peter was not a member of our Fellowship, his was a familair presence at the various joint events we have held.
He was a warm, kind, unassuming man - characteristically, he never said "I am Wilfred's nephew", always "Wilfred is my uncle". The WOA will miss him very much, and I know the SSF members will join me in sympathy for his widow, Elizabeth - who herself has given much love and attention to the Association - and for the rest of his family.
Meg Crane - Chair, Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship .
On August 18th we remembered the 100th Anniversary of the day Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon first met at Craiglockhart War Hospital for Officers, now part of Edinburgh Napier University.
We heard the war poems they composed there in the summer of 1917, recited by Sam Gray of the Wilfred Owen Association and David Wilson of the Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship, with extracts from their letters and diaries, read by Yvonne Morris.
