According to Wikipedia the battle of Loos was the biggest British attack of 1915 and it was the first time the British used gas as a weapon and the Germans won which isn’t good for ellwood and gaunt

“Some place called Loos”

I feel I’m supposed to like know what happened at all these places their referring to and I just don’t like I don’t have this knowledge of what happened during wwl at a place called Loos so I will be googling and I’ll get back to you

“The next day, Gaunt went to his knees for him in a field.”

I love how that sentence is written it’s just so simple and beautiful and it’s crazy that being gay at this time is so frowned upon while at the same time so normal it’s beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time that while these relationships are happening there thinking about the women their going to have to marry

“That still counts as a compliment. I’m writing it down.”
“Peacock.”

I love that he calls him that it’s adorable

“but whenever Ellwood touched the flat spot Gaunt had punched into his nose, he remembered: there was something inside the fortress. “

“Ellwood was so in love with Gaunt that his thoughts ran wild with anger. Gaunt was woven into everything he read, saw, wrote, did, dreamt. Every poem had been written about him, every song composed for him, and Ellwood could not scrape his mind clean of him no matter how he tried.”

“Gaunt’s prick was a little smaller than his”

I’d be so embarrassed if I was a boy and this was thought about me while they are actively having “sex”

“What are you thinking of?”
“I can’t tell you,”
“Show me, then.”

“Gaunt in fact, represented the only real trial ellwood had ever gone through. Unrequited love was a difficult thing to live with.”

Nooooo not maitland now gaunt has no one
