Kindle Notes & Highlights
It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.
And the more insignificant a man has been in civil life the worse it takes him.”
It is queer that almost all of the regular sergeant-majors are fat.
Kat chews and says: “These are from your mother?” I nod. “Good,” says he, “I can tell by the taste.”
Lmao glad to know ‘I’ve slept with your mom’ jokes were common among soldiers even 100 years ago.
Our fresh troops are anaemic boys in need of rest, who cannot carry a pack, but merely know how to die. By thousands.
This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.
