I tried to have him sit apart from the men, based on how he felt separated from the enlisted men. Also no, he didn’t write it the trenches, just some artistic liberty.

I believe he either stated or wrote in letters that he imagined with world of the Hobbit during World War 1, but I do not believe he drafted it outright during wartime.
So it depends, mostly, on how we define ‘wrote’ to be accurate.
That’s interesting! Puts some perspective on the stories.
