The Hydra
The Hydra was a magazine produced by the patients of the Craiglockhart War Hospital, noteworthy for having been edited at one time by Wilfred Owen, and for including poems by Siegfried Sassoon.[1] The magazine was headquartered in Edinburgh.[1] In 1918 George Henry Bonner became the editor.[1] The magazine ceased publication the same year.[2]
The Hydra is mentioned in Pat Barker's novel Regeneration about the experiences of patients at Craiglockhart War Hospital during World War I.
The name was a reference to the hospital’s pre-war role as a centre for hydrotherapy.[1] All issues of the magazine was archived by Oxford University.[2]
