A renowned literary figure in pre-first world war Paris, Guillaume Apollinaire volunteered for war in 1914, trained as an artilleryman and was posted in April 1915 to the western front in northern France, participating in a bloody September offensive and then moving into the front line as an infantry officer, before being wounded in March 1916 and invalided out of active service.Back in Paris, Apollinaire plunged back into the activities of the capital's artistic avant-garde, with the likes of Pablo Picasso, Mark Chagall and Gertrude Stein. He published poetry, prose and plays that were deeply influenced by his involvement in the conflict.
