		Sorley was killed in action, shot in the head by a sniper, at the Battle of Loos on October 13, 1915.

		Sorley is regarded by some, including the Poet Laureate John Masefield (1878–1967), as the greatest loss of all the poets killed during the war.

		'Sorley was critical of Brooke', says Stallworthy, 'at a time when Brooke's (and indeed Owen's) writing was still confined in a 19th century Keatsian time warp.
		Caught up in the botched allied attack a year before the Somme, Sorley and his fellow officers could see, plain as a pikestaff, that all the ordinary soldier wanted was to get home : 'I could wager that of twelve million combatants there aren't twelve who really want it,' he wrote.
		Sorley hoped for 'A nice little bullet wound, tidy and clean, in the shoulder -- that's the place.' Sadly, Fritz found his temple.

	On Two Poems by C H Sorley
		All the hills and vales along (which I will refer to as "vales") was written at the same time that other poets were writing intoxicated sonnets of death and of the glory and honor of battle.
		The style of Sorley’s writing in vales is both jarring and sober, two qualities of his realistic outlook on "The Great War." He preserves this in mouthless dead, albeit with heightened style.
		While differences are readily apparent in vales and mouthless dead, the outlook is consistant in that Sorley is writing honestly, if not accurately, about his perception of war in general, and in mouthless dead, a particular war.
