	Craiglockhart War Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such was Craiglockhart's function until the advent of the First World War.
		Between 1916 and 1919 the building was used as a military psychiatric hospital for the treatment of shell-shocked officers.
		Many of the younger residents of the area refer to the hospital as "Mongo Hill" under the mistaken belief that it is in use as an asylum; a mental institution was sited nearby, at Craighouse, but is now also part of Napier University.

		The large victorian building at Craiglockhart was requisitioned by the military in 1916 and turned into a war hospital for the treatment of shell shocked officers.
		At around the same time as this, Siegfried Sassoon was sent there after having his Declaration against the War read out in the House of Commons, his friend and fellow poet Robert Graves having convinced the review board that Sassoon was suffering from shell-shock (although he clearly wasn't), thus avoiding a Court Martial.
		Owen met Sassoon at Craiglockhart in August 1917 and was strongly influenced and encouraged by him.

		The hospital was a model of its kind, a place where the light airy buildings housing the patients were called "villas" and where the goal was to provide "a bright, cheerful effect" to ensure patients "liberty and freedom of action".
		The hospital was largely self-sufficient with its own farms, dairy, bakery, laundry, reservoir, power plant, private railway station for the convenience of visitors and staff, and a nursery which supplied flowers, plants and trees for all the wards even during the war.
		The Edinburgh War Hospital was in the forefront of medical advances during the war particularly in xray, orthopedic surgery, bone grafting, nerve suturing and tendon transplants.

	The Repression of War Experience, paper by W.H.R. Rivers
		New symptoms often arise in hospital or at home which are not the immediate and necessary consequence of the war experience, but are due to repression of painful memories and thoughts, or of unpleasant affective states arising out of reflection concerning this experience.
		Even when patients have themselves realized the impossibility of forgetting their war experiences and have recognized the hopeless and enervating character of the treatment by repression, they are often induced to attempt the task in obedience to medical orders.
		On going home he was so disturbed by remarks about the war that he left his relatives and buried himself in the heart of the country, where he saw no one, read no papers, and resolutely kept his mind from all thoughts of war.

	All words on Wilfred Owen
		Born at Oswestry in Shropshire of mixed English and Welsh ancestry, he was as well-educated as was possible outside the public-school system at that time, and worked as a private tutor in France prior to the outbreak of World War I.
		In 1915, he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles, but, after some traumatic experiences, was diagnosed as suffering from shell shock and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh for treatment.
		While his use of pararhyme, with its heavy reliance on assonance, was both innovative and, in some of his works, quite brilliant, he was not the only poet at the time to utilise that particular technique.

	Pat Barker's Regeneration -- Critical Contexts -- Shell Shock
		On page four, Dr. William Rivers learns that Siegfried Sassoon is being sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital with a case of shell shock.
		To prevent shell shock from crippling the patients, Craiglockhart emphasizes the value of therapy, a theme in the novel, as a way to fight back against the mental battles.
		He encourages them to talk about the war rather than forget the horrific images and "to let themselves feel the pity and terror their war experience inevitably evoked" (Barker 48).

		Two soldiers who returned to battle after being treated at Craiglockhart were war poets Siegfried Sassoon (treated by Rivers), and Wilfred Owen (a friend of Sassoon's who was subsequently killed in action), whose poems were compelling and poignant testaments to the horrors of the Great War.
		Craiglockhart is a monstrous building with a depressing interior, but located in a lovely and serene countryside.
		Sassoon's description of those desolate and terrifying nights in Craiglockhart is typical not only of shell-shocked WWI officers, but of anyone who is traumatized.

		In 1917 Siegfried Sasson, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I. His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter.
		It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired.
		Many are jailed, others lead dangerous double lives, the "the eye in the door" becomes a symbol of the paranoia that threatens to destroy the very fabric of British society.

		During the war Charlie Chaplin films were therapeutic for the soldiers, and showing one of his films helps develop the theme of therapy that occurs throughout the novel.
		Even though Chaplin was unable to participate in the war, he helped boost the morale of the soldiers that were in it.
		Without his comedy, many of the patients at Craiglockhart War Hospital would not have been able to look past and overcome the real aspects of the war.

		Sassoon was, as depicted in the books, both a war hero and a well-known poet, who because of the radical prose in his famous "A Soldier's Declaration for Refusal to Participate" was sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital by his friends to protect him from reprisals.
		I believe that the purposes for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.
		I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.
