“Bodies and bits of bodies, and clots of blood, and green metallic-looking slime made by the explosive gases were floating on the surface of the water.Our men lived there and died there within a few yards of the enemy. They crouched below the sandbags and burrowed into the sides of the trenches. Lice crawled over them in swarms. If they dug to get deeper cover, , their shovels went into the softness of dead bodies who had been their friends. Scraps of flesh, booted legs, blackened hands, eyeless heads came falling over them when the enemy fired shells at their position.”

‘There were about 20 men. They walked like living plaster statues. Their faces stared at us like those of shrunken mummies, and their eyes seemed so huge that one saw nothing but eyes. Those eyes, which had not seen sleep for four days and nights showed the vision of death. Was this the dream of glory that I had when I had volunteered to fight?’
