A hundred years ago this morning, Passchendaele – the 3rd
Battle of Ypres – began; the battle of which Siegfried Sassoon wrote, “I died in hell (they
called it Passchendaele)”.
This is “A Soldier’s Declaration” from Simfonica’s
upcoming “Letters in Time” DVD.
The piece was inspired by Sassoon’s impassioned statement under
the same title, published in The Times of London on 28th July 1917 just
three days before the battle started.
