By Neil Brand. In 1924 Siegfried Sassoon was in mourning for friends lost in the First World War and unable to find new inspiration for his poetry. Then a gift of a spanking-new Gwynne eight horse power roadster changed his fortunes. He immediately embarked on an 800-mile trip to see friends Thomas Hardy, TE Lawrence and others. His journey would become a tour of postwar Britain and a road to personal and artistic salvation.
