What is still left of Number 2 Platoon is quartered in a stretch of battered trench behind the line, and most of them are dozing Picture Quote #1

Mirrors are there when we are and yet they never give anything back to us but our own image. Never, never shall we know what they are when they are alone or what is behind them Picture Quote #1

We want to live at any price; so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings which, though they might be ornamental enough in peace time, would be out of place here Picture Quote #1
