Editing Good-Bye to All That (section)

==Critical responses==
[[Siegfried Sassoon]] and his friend [[Edmund Blunden]] (whose First World War service had been in a different regiment) took umbrage at the contents of the book. Sassoon's complaints mostly related to Graves's depiction of him and his family, whereas Blunden had read the memoirs of [[J. C. Dunn]] and found them at odds with Graves in some places.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.robertgraves.org/issues/36/7282_article_13.pdf |title=Hugh Cecil, "Edmund Blunden and First World War Writing 1919–36" |access-date=6 November 2012 |archive-date=21 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121154619/http://www.robertgraves.org/issues/36/7282_article_13.pdf |url-status=dead }} Dunn's memoirs were not published until 1938.</ref> The two men took Blunden's copy of ''Good-Bye to All That'' and made marginal notes contradicting some of the text.
