foot that had turned gangrenous. They knew they
were going to lose a leg. Memories of lice in your
clothing driving you crazy. Filth and lack of
privacy. Of huge rats that showed no fear of you

mud everywhere. And of course, corpses. I'd
never seen a dead body before I went to war. But
in the trenches the dead are lying all around you.
You could be talking to the fellow next to you
when suddenly he'd be hit by a sniper and fall
dead beside you. And there he's stay for days.”
