So, here's another poem, Counter-Attack from Siegfried Sassoon:

While there's no question that Sassoon was strongly and deeply affected by the war (certainly his book of poems, Counter-Attack, is ample evidence of that), this was not the reason for his hospitalization at Craiglockhart.

Sassoon's War Schneck, C.A. 1996

He will require a position wide enough to prevent the whole of his front being masked by a retaining attack of a part of the {84} enemy's forces while a strong flank attack is simultaneously delivered; and in a War of Manoeuvre he will require facilities for the Decisive Counter-Attack.

_The General Reserve is for the Decisive Counter-Attack_ and is held for this purpose in the hands of the {93} commander of the whole force, in order that it may be used to crush and overthrow the enemy's main attack.

In such cases a Decisive Counter-Attack is not contemplated.
