Still, I'm much happier here, really in it than I've been for an age. People don't hate much at the front; there's no one to hate,... except the poor devils across the way, whom they [the French soldiers] know to be as miserable as themselves.

You talk to children and they don't hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
