Jacquelyn Kramer · Answer 1

The line in the excerpt that attacked the myth that the sacrifices of soldiers are remembered and valued is in the first text, in the 4th line: "no one spoke of him again."

The excerpt is taken from "Suicide in the Trenches", written by Siegfried Sassoon.

The excerpt of the text is:

In Winter trenches, cowed and glum,

With crumps and lice and lack of rum,

He put a bullet in his brain.

No one spoke of him again.

Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), wrote the poem "Suicide in the Trenches" that refers to his experience during World War I. The poem was published in "Cambridge Magazine" in February 1918.
