- WE ALSO TELL THEM THAT THE BAYONET HAS PRACTICALLY LOST ITS IMPORTANCE, THE SHARPENED SPADE IS A MORE HANDY AND MANY-SIDED WEAPON. YOU CAN JAB A MAN UNDER THE CHIN...
- BACK IN 1916...
- ...AND IF ONE HITS BETWEEN THE NECK AND SHOULDERS, IT EASILY CLEAVES AS FAR DOWN AS THE CHEST.
- HEHEHEHEHE
- BESIDES, A BAYONET CAN GET STUCK BETWEEN A MAN'S RIBS AND BREAK OFF.
- AGHHHHH!!!!
- AT NIGHT THEY SEND OVER GAS, WE EXPECT THE ATTACK TO FOLLOW AND LIE WITH OUR MASKS ON, READY TO TEAR THEM OFF AS SOON AS THE FIRST SHADOW APPEARS. NOTHING HAPPENS.
- THE TRENCH WAS A HORRIBLE SIGHT. THE DEAD WERE STRETCHED OUT ON ONE SIDE, ONE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER SIX FEET HIGH. I THOUGHT AT THE TIME I SHOULD NEVER GET THE PECULIAR DISGUSTING SMELL OF THE VAPOR OF WARM HUMAN BLOOD HEATED BY THE SUN OUT OF MY NOSTRILS. I'D RATHER HAVE SMELT GAS A HUNDRED TIMES.
- POOR FELLOWS SHOT DEAD ARE LYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS. TRENCHES, BITS OF EQUIPMENT, CLOTHING, AMMUNITION, TOOLS, CAPS, EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHERE THE SAME HARD, GRIM, PITILESS SIGN OF BATTLE AND WAR.
- PRESENT...
- THE WAR AFFECTED THE SOLDIERS PHYSICALLY THROUGH SEVERE INJURIES & OFTEN LEFT THEM WITH 'SHELL SHOCK' BY THE THINGS THAT THEY'D SEEN. SOME MEN JUST FELL TO PIECES OTHER MEN DID RECOVER FROM SHELL SHOCK BUT CONTINUED TO HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES
- Well hopefully we won't have to go through any more wars. We won't be able to handle it.
