Which made a new dawn for the world.

I, I can totally understand where it's coming from. And it expresses a lot of the things that I think.

And that God has made manifest in the flesh, that these guys, when they make these sacrifices, it's like a glimpse of God. | <0>965<0>3556<0>2525<0>3997<0>1190<0>355<0>2818<0>3973<0>871<0>2703<0>262<0>1945<0>3582<0>1097<0>2826<0>2888<0>2378<0>1485<0>2395<0>3435<0>1210<0>154<0>2520<0>1707<0>3923<0>1129<0>1517<0>2710<0>963<0>2051<0>121<0>2075<0>645<0>2176<0>203<0>3386<0>866<0>3110<0>983<0>3593<0>1198<0>3175<0>2408<0>963<0>963<0>599<0>1111<0>77... |
These acts of valor and heroism, and it's just very powerful. | <0>465<0>465<0>3606<0>1377<0>224<0>2080<0>3990<0>3081<0>1198<0>1198<0>3299<0>3132<0>1145<0>2492<0>1095<0>969<0>2230<0>2864<0>2864<0>1675<0>3307<0>748<0>1895<0>2864<0>3882<0>2005<0>3882<0>3307<0>3307<0>1775<0>768<0>2099<0>3199<0>2437<0>645<0>2136<0>1145<0>1346<0>2230<0>3662<0>2498<0>2072<0>3246<0>2955<0>3420<0>3140<0>31... |
Now, that's wraps up, you know, the intro's longer than that obviously. Uhm, but now we're gonna go to the book itself, which again is written by this soldier Dawson. And it actually starts with his training. So, and he was, he was from England, and he lived in Canada. | <0>3008<0>1190<0>652<0>1990<0>457<0>869<0>1989<0>1989<0>2492<0>3116<0>305<0>1108<0>3667<0>1696<0>2710<0>3637<0>9<0>1989<0>1062<0>3943<0>2142<0>1265<0>1384<0>2826<0>3541<0>1812<0>1372<0>3541<0>122<0>3457<0>1076<0>1400<0>2471<0>2550<0>3888<0>3122<0>3122<0>1738<0>2824<0>3603<0>1569<0>43<0>3246<0>819<0>3830<0>1517<0>3888<0... |
Supporting and helping Britain in the war. And he'd actually traveled to New York. He'd lived all over the place. And, but now he's, he's going to boot camp. | <0>517<0>1710<0>144<0>1645<0>3972<0>3617<0>553<0>2582<0>2739<0>2631<0>2483<0>252<0>1334<0>2753<0>343<0>3539<0>1372<0>871<0>1942<0>915<0>2801<0>3015<0>95<0>3662<0>1422<0>3435<0>34<0>1569<0>2381<0>2790<0>3716<0>1546<0>2679<0>2376<0>3365<0>2333<0>1454<0>1454<0>1057<0>191<0>3457<0>1085<0>1998<0>3535<0>3365<0>1998<0>3157<0>... |
And we'll take it back to the book. When I had been medically examined, passed as fit, had donned a uniform and commenced my training, I learnt what the enduring of hardship was. | <0>1423<0>3122<0>1854<0>3823<0>1697<0>2037<0>366<0>1481<0>158<0>2072<0>1675<0>988<0>2795<0>3214<0>3694<0>4011<0>65<0>2119<0>15<0>573<0>1351<0>1049<0>2470<0>1602<0>2907<0>969<0>3670<0>213<0>3374<0>3539<0>3407<0>2824<0>1255<0>1062<0>465<0>465<0>2795<0>2119<0>342<0>2826<0>3223<0>778<0>3478<0>3839<0>1529<0>137<0>2051<0>353... |
No experience on active service has equaled the humiliation and severity of those first months of soldiering. | <0>1108<0>543<0>556<0>3031<0>506<0>3801<0>3530<0>3593<0>932<0>2703<0>1835<0>2826<0>366<0>1113<0>739<0>2119<0>2332<0>2624<0>1668<0>3850<0>3875<0>2001<0>484<0>1816<0>2060<0>1517<0>2424<0>2409<0>3787<0>1385<0>2893<0>3612<0>3295<0>2309<0>1987<0>3320<0>457<0>2991<0>3224<0>2733<0>2309<0>908<0>2888<0>3823<0>2516<0>3998<0>95<0... |
We were sneered at, cleaned stables, groomed horses, rode stripped saddles, stripped saddle for 12 miles at the trot, attended lectures, studied till past midnight, and were up on the first parade at 6 o'clock. No previous civilian efficiency or prominence stood us in any stead. We started robbed of all importance. | <0>702<0>3913<0>915<0>1328<0>2733<0>3457<0>1273<0>2060<0>1568<0>3374<0>2027<0>3823<0>1645<0>3339<0>3238<0>2409<0>1702<0>2696<0>288<0>243<0>2027<0>2027<0>2060<0>3002<0>216<0>776<0>1728<0>1878<0>2181<0>1517<0>2349<0>922<0>2348<0>1140<0>3691<0>866<0>1990<0>932<0>1719<0>336<0>3551<0>2424<0>3463<0>4055<0>2619<0>2860<0>235<0... |
I love that. We started Rob Devolvoid. So you know that thing you have that's an ego? Yeah, it's gone.

And only gained a new importance by our power to hang on and develop a new efficiency as soldiers. | <0>790<0>379<0>1642<0>259<0>1558<0>339<0>3204<0>3204<0>1175<0>2801<0>1254<0>3522<0>1668<0>3108<0>878<0>406<0>3677<0>2027<0>1587<0>366<0>2715<0>275<0>2389<0>644<0>1028<0>1990<0>2082<0>746<0>3155<0>3457<0>2309<0>190<0>3122<0>974<0>3122<0>262<0>1351<0>1728<0>3849<0>1830<0>2999<0>3137<0>458<0>207<0>2389<0>1857<0>1532<0>303... |
You've heard me say that before, like when I joined the military, that's one of my favorite things about it, it was like a blank slate. Like everything you did in your past, all the, all the stuff you've been through, little trouble things you've done, it's all gone. What matters now is what you do here. | <0>4055<0>3874<0>593<0>2001<0>3057<0>3457<0>2659<0>3130<0>1791<0>1842<0>3122<0>1675<0>4011<0>262<0>2832<0>2197<0>2451<0>2332<0>1183<0>819<0>2398<0>324<0>3592<0>1618<0>367<0>154<0>3036<0>4066<0>3967<0>3967<0>1016<0>2450<0>1945<0>2585<0>1231<0>1924<0>3407<0>3621<0>3530<0>3617<0>542<0>3539<0>2008<0>2082<0>495<0>187<0>3235... |
When men went sick, they were labeled scrimshankers and struck off the course. It was an offense. It was an offense to let your body interfere with your duty. | <0>871<0>3373<0>884<0>2801<0>1473<0>522<0>1140<0>915<0>3139<0>702<0>509<0>4050<0>102<0>3374<0>3992<0>780<0>2959<0>1255<0>2205<0>2051<0>2870<0>2840<0>634<0>634<0>1702<0>87<0>1254<0>3603<0>1328<0>2280<0>2336<0>1832<0>339<0>1878<0>37<0>871<0>158<0>465<0>465<0>3116<0>3729<0>3535<0>3002<0>4050<0>2087<0>3656<0>3828<0>3146<0>... |

Of the class that started, I don't think more than a third passed. The lukewarm soldier and the pink tea hero who simply wanted to swank a uniform were eventually choked off. | <0>3469<0>1770<0>1675<0>2544<0>1331<0>2787<0>2819<0>144<0>2595<0>2282<0>1129<0>275<0>2041<0>3130<0>691<0>1644<0>2416<0>2037<0>3892<0>2888<0>1866<0>262<0>1144<0>154<0>858<0>1707<0>2001<0>1480<0>2044<0>3216<0>2488<0>2476<0>3004<0>1517<0>2710<0>2205<0>465<0>4052<0>3967<0>3967<0>1062<0>511<0>1396<0>4072<0>2176<0>998<0>2888... |
It was a test of pluck, even more than of strength or intelligence. The same test that a man would be subjected to all the time at the front. In a word, it sorted out the fellows who had guts. | <0>1176<0>3348<0>1118<0>2008<0>1198<0>3823<0>1321<0>1517<0>1118<0>1649<0>3967<0>2799<0>866<0>1683<0>898<0>2044<0>1998<0>2424<0>2409<0>1826<0>853<0>3096<0>668<0>65<0>1992<0>1992<0>3923<0>527<0>527<0>1116<0>1668<0>1254<0>2585<0>1113<0>1730<0>3457<0>3238<0>1099<0>3376<0>197<0>3984<0>2805<0>2124<0>1113<0>1236<0>1998<0>3130... |
Guts isn't a particularly polite word, but I have come increasingly to appreciate its splendid significance. The possessor of this much coveted quality is the kind of idiot who, when his legs are smitten, will fight upon his stumps. | <0>543<0>2520<0>21<0>3004<0>3535<0>3535<0>2424<0>240<0>2287<0>696<0>4050<0>2733<0>3370<0>1793<0>2659<0>972<0>2801<0>181<0>1679<0>1836<0>144<0>3240<0>1362<0>3754<0>871<0>3898<0>3246<0>3246<0>3541<0>207<0>3341<0>2488<0>2970<0>2032<0>3239<0>707<0>3967<0>3053<0>1111<0>1144<0>1372<0>1134<0>181<0>1175<0>216<0>2824<0>1254<0>3... |
And I actually was, when I read this, I was like, man, what, is there some archaic term of idiot? Why is he using that word? And there was none. Like, he means, that's what he means, he's like a guy, and you know, we, we say this in SEAL training, like if you're gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough.

If we weren't like it, we wouldn't be any good as officers. This artillery school had a violent way of sifting out a man's moral worth. | <0>760<0>3295<0>2374<0>3435<0>3828<0>3295<0>3768<0>4064<0>262<0>663<0>614<0>3339<0>3332<0>1382<0>1714<0>2612<0>353<0>4058<0>305<0>4011<0>3809<0>1832<0>3963<0>3603<0>2824<0>3457<0>3376<0>232<0>1675<0>2059<0>805<0>1569<0>1736<0>374<0>317<0>3319<0>2129<0>2710<0>421<0>3514<0>3590<0>1668<0>3295<0>2666<0>2133<0>1249<0>2585<0... |
I can't imagine what these soldiers went through. I mean, just unleashing these veterans on them, coming out and trying to get them ready for war, I bet it was brutal. And it sounds like it was brutal. And it sounds like it did a very effective job of getting rid of the weak, of making your ego completely go away, you... | <0>2537<0>3082<0>809<0>3823<0>3374<0>2230<0>969<0>2059<0>526<0>317<0>3644<0>2523<0>1265<0>249<0>1719<0>3791<0>545<0>3677<0>596<0>915<0>2471<0>2524<0>593<0>2645<0>2327<0>2327<0>3307<0>3538<0>3612<0>2715<0>2703<0>983<0>1465<0>3374<0>1517<0>458<0>353<0>244<0>11<0>1073<0>2155<0>3874<0>3661<0>3492<0>3819<0>932<0>2348<0>3224... |
Now he continues on the book, but I'm going to move a little bit forward here to where he's moving towards the front. And we'll go back to the book. After trudging about six miles, we arrived at the camp and found that it was out of food and that all the tents were occupied. | <0>137<0>3480<0>691<0>3782<0>2489<0>2631<0>3606<0>2751<0>2378<0>2433<0>3189<0>2959<0>1782<0>4038<0>786<0>3457<0>3122<0>2885<0>567<0>158<0>1738<0>2044<0>1480<0>599<0>3407<0>819<0>2234<0>2520<0>1517<0>329<0>1989<0>353<0>2888<0>3348<0>235<0>915<0>484<0>4046<0>3267<0>3307<0>3319<0>890<0>3240<0>3122<0>2432<0>2421<0>3130<0>2... |
We stretched out our sleeping bags on the ground and went to bed supper-less. We'd had no food all day. Next morning we were told that we ought to jump on an ammunition lorry if we wanted to go any further on our journey. Nobody seemed to want us particularly and no one could give us the least information as to where ... | <0>3967<0>229<0>3556<0>716<0>2082<0>216<0>1719<0>3130<0>275<0>1773<0>1517<0>3008<0>142<0>1790<0>1772<0>1638<0>385<0>559<0>1862<0>262<0>2230<0>3691<0>1992<0>1255<0>2936<0>1761<0>4004<0>3122<0>1254<0>2666<0>2072<0>355<0>963<0>1722<0>3535<0>932<0>4004<0>1423<0>1520<0>3107<0>1517<0>2710<0>2938<0>1942<0>1989<0>2007<0>1989<0... |
If that were needed. Of our total unimportance. So these guys are looking to find where they're supposed to report to is they can go fight in the war. And people are like, eh, I got no time for you.

While we were raiding on the roadside, an Australian brigade of artillery passed by. | <0>3596<0>3914<0>2619<0>3987<0>3828<0>4009<0>3556<0>573<0>1687<0>1113<0>275<0>2142<0>2894<0>3791<0>1129<0>2041<0>293<0>2750<0>216<0>1239<0>2900<0>3280<0>3644<0>3407<0>29<0>2289<0>190<0>3348<0>2489<0>275<0>1758<0>2666<0>1111<0>819<0>3526<0>3678<0>1687<0>2517<0>1517<0>343<0>366<0>3246<0>1255<0>2205<0>2068<0>3981<0>2068<0... |
The men's faces were dreary with fatigue. The gunners were dismounted and marched as in a trance. The harness was muddy. | <0>116<0>2234<0>355<0>2598<0>3587<0>2060<0>2374<0>3754<0>3158<0>216<0>1139<0>3551<0>3898<0>3122<0>3153<0>3641<0>3841<0>65<0>573<0>2133<0>1424<0>2753<0>2733<0>1830<0>362<0>2772<0>3457<0>3320<0>1209<0>3781<0>620<0>2672<0>2672<0>2072<0>3528<0>871<0>3593<0>1687<0>575<0>2520<0>317<0>545<0>3122<0>1109<0>2432<0>4050<0>2826<0>... |
The steel rusty, the horses lean and discouraged. We understood that they were pulling out from an offensive in which they had received a bad cutting up. To my overstrained imagination it seemed that the men had the vision of death in their eyes. | <0>3956<0>2060<0>3637<0>2309<0>950<0>3828<0>3240<0>1990<0>2787<0>3791<0>1517<0>1465<0>2823<0>3320<0>1062<0>707<0>1376<0>465<0>1520<0>2619<0>983<0>1990<0>275<0>1719<0>778<0>317<0>2408<0>1073<0>1171<0>969<0>969<0>3667<0>303<0>3643<0>2309<0>1719<0>2217<0>1500<0>599<0>3624<0>3460<0>3457<0>3637<0>1255<0>1062<0>1989<0>1942<0... |
Towards the evening, the thunder of the guns had swelled into an ominous roar. | <0>2517<0>3809<0>2087<0>2432<0>3457<0>668<0>2733<0>776<0>3646<0>441<0>3538<0>2629<0>2999<0>2136<0>484<0>2001<0>2801<0>2133<0>122<0>3541<0>4055<0>2142<0>2348<0>2801<0>1816<0>672<0>3155<0>3240<0>1569<0>366<0>2516<0>3462<0>2710<0>3691<0>381<0>1016<0>1136<0>1569<0>3407<0>3625<0>1696<0>2075<0>1422<0>866<0>3898<0>484<0>3185<... |
We pass through villages disfigured by shellfire. Civilians became more rare and more aged. | <0>1799<0>3008<0>2197<0>1939<0>2479<0>367<0>1351<0>990<0>593<0>2520<0>2634<0>1719<0>2659<0>317<0>3984<0>3926<0>1062<0>1920<0>3374<0>3457<0>3457<0>3155<0>3460<0>573<0>3606<0>100<0>3646<0>567<0>1638<0>138<0>1139<0>1139<0>366<0>3240<0>3732<0>1084<0>599<0>2888<0>2955<0>2463<0>3312<0>2710<0>2060<0>1945<0>2060<0>2075<0>573<0... |
Cattle disappeared utterly from the landscape. Fields were furrowed with abandoned trenches, in- in front of which hung entanglements of wire. Mounted orderly, splashed along sullen roads at an impatient trot. Here and there we came across improvised bill of acts of infantry. | <0>2328<0>3678<0>2082<0>275<0>3898<0>963<0>3823<0>2710<0>3956<0>3238<0>1175<0>275<0>3492<0>2650<0>83<0>154<0>3828<0>369<0>3732<0>3407<0>3513<0>3240<0>3413<0>35<0>2230<0>2710<0>3984<0>632<0>786<0>3036<0>1255<0>3992<0>3787<0>343<0>3478<0>2475<0>915<0>3791<0>1990<0>1400<0>3592<0>1111<0>1111<0>275<0>3174<0>2342<0>1265<0>28... |
Far away against the horizon towards which we traveled, Hun flares and rockets were going up. | <0>2870<0>374<0>34<0>1084<0>275<0>3898<0>1085<0>2598<0>3008<0>2881<0>1517<0>2787<0>2001<0>484<0>413<0>1616<0>2192<0>2331<0>2827<0>2666<0>3435<0>2619<0>1878<0>2889<0>2339<0>3894<0>312<0>229<0>664<0>2585<0>3152<0>3122<0>3240<0>457<0>2205<0>1942<0>3967<0>2492<0>4058<0>4058<0>3524<0>1480<0>484<0>2520<0>3462<0>3880<0>3732<0... |

The landscape was getting increasingly muddy. It became a sea of mud. Dispatch riders on motorbikes traveled warily, their feet dragging to save themselves from falling. Everything was splashed with filth and corruption. One marveled at the cleanliness of the sky. | <0>3691<0>915<0>2348<0>967<0>1334<0>1000<0>838<0>1100<0>939<0>2779<0>2818<0>1812<0>419<0>173<0>1339<0>2432<0>3823<0>3488<0>1254<0>1799<0>2813<0>3020<0>672<0>4038<0>1144<0>3541<0>2582<0>3691<0>3691<0>1485<0>1318<0>518<0>4015<0>640<0>1255<0>1491<0>2272<0>1076<0>2520<0>191<0>3823<0>1094<0>2060<0>2309<0>3457<0>95<0>2034<0>... |
Trees were blasted and seemed to be sinking out of sight in this war created slew of despondency. | <0>2733<0>2328<0>950<0>1719<0>866<0>3122<0>543<0>3122<0>2787<0>2787<0>3535<0>1198<0>55<0>142<0>2795<0>164<0>3172<0>3823<0>78<0>2309<0>2823<0>2027<0>1094<0>1532<0>3457<0>3002<0>2309<0>303<0>983<0>2751<0>979<0>1111<0>3246<0>3122<0>2826<0>1517<0>2516<0>2488<0>3320<0>3204<0>2582<0>1517<0>3984<0>1161<0>2409<0>3694<0>2990<0>... |
We came to a brow of a hill in the valley was something that I recognized. The last time I had seen it was in an etching in a shop window in Newark, New Jersey. It was a town from the midst of whose battered ruins a splintered tower soared against the sky. | <0>1684<0>963<0>3823<0>716<0>346<0>303<0>809<0>3115<0>3541<0>567<0>1120<0>1989<0>1989<0>2001<0>275<0>366<0>2471<0>1878<0>1480<0>2331<0>3823<0>696<0>1816<0>2336<0>3004<0>3915<0>3281<0>2027<0>969<0>300<0>2787<0>366<0>3582<0>492<0>809<0>3535<0>2001<0>122<0>1372<0>2766<0>2787<0>154<0>3240<0>2787<0>988<0>3526<0>2398<0>795<0... |
Leaning far out from the tower so that it seemed she must drop was a statue of the virgin with the Christ in her arms. | <0>3524<0>969<0>3667<0>1558<0>3280<0>1992<0>3732<0>2705<0>1990<0>3756<0>1990<0>4090<0>974<0>457<0>2705<0>3662<0>2634<0>1467<0>2142<0>366<0>2946<0>3883<0>1016<0>1016<0>621<0>3694<0>3265<0>1843<0>1517<0>3373<0>1308<0>1865<0>3909<0>2135<0>2631<0>1989<0>4058<0>4058<0>2004<0>1155<0>2710<0>317<0>1100<0>2633<0>2027<0>1719<0>1... |
It was a superstition with the French and I remembered that so long as she did not fall, things would go well with the Allies. As we watched, a shell screamed over the gaping roofs and a column of smoke went up. | <0>2631<0>229<0>1738<0>805<0>1517<0>1517<0>1139<0>1768<0>2520<0>1719<0>3830<0>3823<0>1139<0>4038<0>3122<0>1758<0>3612<0>2705<0>275<0>262<0>1465<0>1139<0>400<0>375<0>3787<0>501<0>3445<0>1644<0>599<0>3541<0>3662<0>154<0>262<0>327<0>2001<0>871<0>1644<0>2710<0>1517<0>1569<0>1819<0>1990<0>678<0>4004<0>462<0>2309<0>3376<0>24... |
As we entered the streets, Tommy's more polluted than miners crept out from the skeletons of houses. They leant listlessly against sagging doorways to watch us pass. If we asked for information as to where our division was, they shook their heads stupidly, too indifferent with weariness to reply. | <0>2943<0>1977<0>3373<0>3556<0>1772<0>3644<0>2904<0>3457<0>518<0>587<0>3637<0>1517<0>366<0>1111<0>2059<0>2710<0>1372<0>3122<0>2381<0>144<0>66<0>218<0>2634<0>3153<0>3488<0>3522<0>3267<0>3407<0>1449<0>2632<0>4004<0>1139<0>2063<0>1675<0>2142<0>1423<0>3119<0>599<0>3122<0>3132<0>3407<0>3347<0>3535<0>3002<0>3830<0>2970<0>382... |

Back to the book. There was a headquarters near by whose battalion was in the line. I struck up a liaison with its officers and at times went into the crowded tent which was their mess to get warm. Runners would come there at all hours of day and night bringing messages from the front. | <0>1816<0>2787<0>2666<0>3486<0>3691<0>3122<0>1603<0>1038<0>2520<0>3828<0>65<0>1977<0>776<0>2542<0>2381<0>3828<0>65<0>2432<0>2582<0>1076<0>2633<0>3691<0>1265<0>3222<0>2307<0>1120<0>1738<0>1569<0>2999<0>3612<0>404<0>1675<0>915<0>3176<0>1878<0>1517<0>2327<0>2133<0>3242<0>2300<0>3541<0>1517<0>2428<0>1675<0>3107<0>3407<0>80... |
They were usually well spent. Sometimes they gassed, but they had. | <0>2135<0>809<0>1214<0>369<0>2155<0>155<0>2894<0>229<0>2799<0>366<0>3185<0>3002<0>1198<0>3082<0>374<0>2135<0>2624<0>2784<0>752<0>144<0>262<0>2795<0>2142<0>4038<0>1568<0>573<0>3693<0>3668<0>1190<0>342<0>2142<0>1517<0>1517<0>2424<0>2409<0>2409<0>2818<0>1062<0>3913<0>2001<0>2072<0>2598<0>1730<0>2059<0>262<0>2787<0>3528<0>... |
But they all had the invincible determination to carry on. | <0>2007<0>3393<0>915<0>809<0>931<0>974<0>2782<0>1518<0>2284<0>262<0>1265<0>1532<0>2433<0>3781<0>303<0>2538<0>65<0>1517<0>1517<0>2511<0>3240<0>805<0>3830<0>716<0>4004<0>1878<0>1372<0>1171<0>95<0>1139<0>303<0>1758<0>1255<0>1697<0>3823<0>2197<0>1878<0>3457<0>1265<0>3122<0>3174<0>2739<0>158<0>2205<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>39... |
After they delivered their message, they would lie down in the mud and go to sleep like dogs. The moment the reply was ready, they would lurch to their feet, throwing off their weariness as if it were a thing to be conquered and despised. | <0>2840<0>3722<0>644<0>1842<0>576<0>65<0>3909<0>2923<0>3828<0>3582<0>1118<0>1073<0>1465<0>50<0>1992<0>1865<0>3535<0>1668<0>1139<0>2795<0>1457<0>2893<0>3031<0>915<0>122<0>1569<0>2332<0>3376<0>720<0>535<0>154<0>2801<0>2520<0>1601<0>3224<0>3791<0>1816<0>2634<0>1255<0>3201<0>853<0>3874<0>2520<0>969<0>1517<0>1517<0>3849<0>1... |
So these guys are dog tired, they just get laid down in the mud. Somebody's preparing a reply for these messages. And then the moment the reply was met- ready, they would lurch to their feet, throwing off their reariness as though it were a thing to be conquered and despised. | <0>977<0>65<0>1250<0>3526<0>2060<0>1351<0>1967<0>3215<0>441<0>2659<0>3446<0>2072<0>2142<0>1116<0>262<0>1758<0>599<0>2715<0>2197<0>2500<0>1171<0>1782<0>2309<0>1822<0>756<0>3224<0>2881<0>3909<0>1334<0>2133<0>181<0>2034<0>484<0>144<0>2666<0>3204<0>1255<0>2790<0>308<0>2352<0>3791<0>1104<0>3280<0>3656<0>2110<0>809<0>2377<0>... |
I appreciate now as never before, I appreciate it now as never before the lesson of guts that I have been taught at Kingston. | <0>3492<0>3339<0>1800<0>2666<0>2894<0>190<0>3427<0>1100<0>2421<0>2633<0>3678<0>1687<0>366<0>3431<0>794<0>3535<0>2509<0>3204<0>3204<0>1564<0>313<0>932<0>1675<0>275<0>838<0>895<0>2043<0>1990<0>2133<0>2044<0>2044<0>2204<0>2450<0>3899<0>2795<0>593<0>1719<0>1139<0>573<0>3226<0>1664<0>526<0>366<0>3246<0>3823<0>317<0>3204<0>2... |
The other side of the town, the ravages of the war were far more marked. | <0>1175<0>1865<0>176<0>1517<0>1687<0>570<0>176<0>778<0>1517<0>1183<0>1265<0>3122<0>2824<0>2624<0>2288<0>2624<0>2739<0>3828<0>3505<0>2715<0>2133<0>142<0>1719<0>3551<0>2034<0>1675<0>3898<0>3140<0>3596<0>2471<0>2460<0>2782<0>3122<0>2374<0>3732<0>1384<0>3756<0>678<0>1675<0>1790<0>2946<0>3122<0>1361<0>2864<0>3122<0>2044<0>2... |
All the way along the roadside were clumps of little crosses, French, English, German, planted above the hurried graves of brave fellows who had fallen. Ambulances were picking their way wearily, turning with the last night's toll of wounded. | <0>1990<0>1990<0>2181<0>3541<0>3898<0>1944<0>691<0>3898<0>974<0>3122<0>1790<0>275<0>3122<0>3541<0>2432<0>2516<0>2082<0>3898<0>3122<0>2381<0>3122<0>1320<0>1587<0>866<0>1111<0>3730<0>4071<0>4042<0>3677<0>2883<0>1517<0>3538<0>1517<0>2424<0>3678<0>2108<0>2270<0>1830<0>3750<0>262<0>1254<0>1139<0>190<0>3199<0>3657<0>1076<0>1... |
We saw newly dead men and horses pulled to one side who'd been caught in the darkness by the enemy's harassing fire in places, in places the country had holes the size of quarries where mines had exploded and shells from large caliber guns had detonated. | <0>2511<0>1076<0>216<0>484<0>2885<0>3341<0>3341<0>1812<0>3051<0>204<0>2840<0>786<0>2633<0>235<0>1679<0>148<0>2398<0>2072<0>1568<0>3892<0>2103<0>2582<0>190<0>1175<0>2671<0>556<0>1844<0>2492<0>1942<0>1783<0>3096<0>154<0>3240<0>1990<0>3348<0>1719<0>1793<0>935<0>2710<0>3656<0>564<0>1062<0>144<0>3067<0>3240<0>2072<0>374<0>1... |
Bedlam was raging up front.

To have been there by oneself would have been most disturbing, but the men about me seemed to regard it as perfectly ordinary and normal. I steadied myself by their example. | <0>4066<0>3830<0>3348<0>1277<0>2217<0>3522<0>573<0>1638<0>4004<0>366<0>691<0>3240<0>3644<0>381<0>1517<0>2666<0>1569<0>484<0>3526<0>1214<0>1277<0>3522<0>3307<0>3798<0>1675<0>1719<0>3830<0>1793<0>1517<0>2692<0>154<0>3528<0>236<0>870<0>1675<0>1038<0>2878<0>645<0>1865<0>50<0>871<0>2327<0>366<0>3122<0>2497<0>2462<0>3281<0>2... |
It's, it's, it's interesting because we're talking about this and it sounds like hell and they're not even in the front yet. They're not on the front lines. This is behind. | <0>81<0>1076<0>224<0>1299<0>1076<0>2710<0>3637<0>1467<0>3116<0>1071<0>1071<0>1120<0>1062<0>4066<0>3175<0>3374<0>3406<0>3505<0>3002<0>3374<0>231<0>3348<0>2164<0>2619<0>366<0>573<0>154<0>4004<0>3956<0>1668<0>1517<0>1198<0>3967<0>3967<0>1989<0>4058<0>465<0>702<0>553<0>1175<0>3661<0>213<0>2462<0>2881<0>2001<0>3617<0>89<0>3... |
That's something also we were talking about today, like you can see these guys, whatever pain and suffering they're feeling, they're not showing it. | <0>3220<0>1517<0>1517<0>484<0>1267<0>618<0>1517<0>207<0>2511<0>1214<0>2072<0>958<0>2053<0>3220<0>3662<0>3658<0>2352<0>2904<0>2779<0>1520<0>1844<0>3967<0>2433<0>2187<0>2099<0>3320<0>2309<0>2029<0>1491<0>3460<0>823<0>2460<0>466<0>3272<0>2710<0>1517<0>3140<0>3153<0>3913<0>1738<0>1992<0>1772<0>484<0>244<0>244<0>207<0>290<0... |
And he knows he can't show it.

In those days, the evening hate was a regular habit with the hun. | <0>768<0>3488<0>3522<0>3752<0>2813<0>2934<0>3904<0>1517<0>3374<0>3376<0>3875<0>3535<0>1587<0>2790<0>1786<0>1435<0>1987<0>768<0>3153<0>1532<0>3861<0>1982<0>1076<0>2088<0>369<0>3522<0>3561<0>1254<0>1491<0>3116<0>2710<0>3984<0>707<0>465<0>3738<0>1989<0>1989<0>4058<0>1108<0>3469<0>3528<0>782<0>3582<0>3898<0>3217<0>3008<0>1... |
He knew our country better than we did for he had retired from it. Every evening, he used to search out all communication trenches and likely battery positions with any quantity of shells. | <0>2328<0>1568<0>3134<0>3939<0>2894<0>235<0>3918<0>2489<0>1090<0>2110<0>1777<0>154<0>645<0>3238<0>2888<0>1463<0>3612<0>2234<0>1073<0>2582<0>3528<0>3522<0>3153<0>190<0>1208<0>3732<0>2133<0>3647<0>1100<0>3122<0>1878<0>2666<0>3157<0>3207<0>154<0>3180<0>2001<0>3662<0>3233<0>1425<0>1062<0>1989<0>4058<0>2492<0>2492<0>4058<0>... |
So seven o'clock at night, the Germans would just, they knew all the positions because they had surrendered them. So then they would just start. | <0>1517<0>83<0>3122<0>3913<0>3967<0>1989<0>1989<0>2492<0>3116<0>2710<0>1696<0>366<0>3662<0>458<0>1084<0>827<0>1268<0>1021<0>3678<0>768<0>2840<0>3967<0>3466<0>2135<0>3036<0>2634<0>1993<0>3004<0>3739<0>4046<0>1339<0>819<0>2099<0>2432<0>190<0>1719<0>1697<0>266<0>379<0>190<0>2934<0>479<0>3756<0>1265<0>2348<0>835<0>3830<0>3... |
Dropping bombs, dropping artillery on the known positions that they knew, they knew of the trenches where they built them. | <0>3430<0>190<0>275<0>3122<0>1480<0>2230<0>2824<0>2471<0>3122<0>3122<0>3347<0>1517<0>1517<0>963<0>1062<0>1822<0>275<0>406<0>567<0>3662<0>4004<0>1462<0>1675<0>1675<0>2230<0>1875<0>678<0>1687<0>3267<0>2060<0>122<0>3522<0>652<0>2348<0>3538<0>1118<0>433<0>1719<0>1118<0>1773<0>2692<0>884<0>3226<0>335<0>346<0>1100<0>969<0>18... |
Horrible. His idea was to rob us of our morale. | <0>3704<0>411<0>3756<0>1084<0>457<0>457<0>3156<0>2840<0>740<0>1062<0>2205<0>1414<0>4066<0>510<0>1529<0>339<0>2442<0>1616<0>3573<0>95<0>3812<0>3677<0>1321<0>2666<0>1990<0>1990<0>1084<0>1736<0>511<0>2303<0>3535<0>1517<0>1198<0>810<0>457<0>512<0>3756<0>2013<0>1675<0>3240<0>3122<0>366<0>3246<0>2864<0>3524<0>3981<0>2068<0>3... |
I wish he might have seen how abysmally he failed to do it. Down our narrow valley, like a flight of arrows, the shells screamed and whistles. Where they struck the ground looked like resurrection day, with the dead elbowing their way into daylight and forcing back the earth from their eyes. | <0>2624<0>3541<0>2296<0>3374<0>1139<0>1372<0>3739<0>355<0>638<0>2710<0>2710<0>4038<0>3522<0>154<0>3122<0>871<0>3647<0>835<0>2087<0>235<0>3158<0>3320<0>1062<0>2492<0>2007<0>2818<0>1328<0>154<0>343<0>3573<0>3789<0>2715<0>2787<0>3146<0>1790<0>3122<0>567<0>339<0>1118<0>819<0>2824<0>969<0>3320<0>2398<0>3526<0>1568<0>2475<0>... |
There were actually many dead men just beneath the surface, and as the ground was plowed up, the smell of corruption became distinctly unpleasant. | <0>3481<0>2001<0>275<0>1240<0>2715<0>1998<0>3828<0>1076<0>2888<0>1171<0>4038<0>3561<0>493<0>2751<0>1568<0>3823<0>4055<0>324<0>1568<0>3720<0>823<0>3606<0>142<0>972<0>2075<0>2060<0>963<0>1836<0>3267<0>493<0>1782<0>3446<0>983<0>2710<0>2520<0>366<0>2129<0>3146<0>1517<0>2633<0>2633<0>1640<0>878<0>3956<0>345<0>332<0>3445<0>3... |
So these guys are buried, they're buried in whatever, four or five feet of dirt. And these shells come in and dig them up. | <0>213<0>2142<0>2864<0>1649<0>3116<0>1601<0>1454<0>1454<0>2840<0>1989<0>1989<0>869<0>768<0>95<0>155<0>3539<0>2659<0>154<0>2739<0>1640<0>3217<0>2103<0>3522<0>154<0>2739<0>1640<0>3522<0>2827<0>1346<0>1575<0>3662<0>3662<0>3122<0>3662<0>1480<0>1518<0>3341<0>1331<0>458<0>2057<0>3460<0>2328<0>3320<0>1728<0>234<0>1277<0>3526<... |
Presently the shells began to go dud. | <0>2037<0>2999<0>2082<0>3223<0>381<0>969<0>1254<0>190<0>1139<0>2633<0>2813<0>1118<0>2205<0>493<0>493<0>1076<0>2936<0>1992<0>3956<0>1255<0>345<0>3391<0>3541<0>2991<0>1277<0>1277<0>142<0>3645<0>3321<0>3153<0>645<0>1255<0>1038<0>2555<0>1748<0>1120<0>4066<0>1989<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068... |
So imagine this, you're hearing these big explosions and then some shells hit and there's no explosion. You know what that means? It means it's gas. | <0>1989<0>3762<0>1989<0>1071<0>1376<0>1108<0>1071<0>2352<0>1517<0>83<0>2864<0>3662<0>3617<0>2217<0>1517<0>969<0>2585<0>1139<0>1318<0>2133<0>3522<0>382<0>2703<0>2217<0>2823<0>2328<0>3437<0>3452<0>2666<0>484<0>2060<0>2230<0>3522<0>969<0>3573<0>908<0>3573<0>2057<0>3240<0>983<0>2197<0>4055<0>1640<0>78<0>3693<0>1989<0>1109<... |
We realized that these were gas shells. A thin bluish vapor spread throughout the valley and breathing became oppressive. | <0>3297<0>2733<0>2579<0>3556<0>932<0>43<0>691<0>2689<0>1517<0>1231<0>1062<0>1062<0>2135<0>1142<0>2904<0>1782<0>3457<0>3943<0>3122<0>2133<0>1791<0>4066<0>871<0>3153<0>3892<0>2715<0>2197<0>2446<0>1139<0>2014<0>457<0>457<0>1517<0>1198<0>2629<0>158<0>3478<0>539<0>1465<0>95<0>1992<0>2824<0>484<0>2034<0>3224<0>190<0>3038<0>3... |
Then like stallions kicking in the stalls, the heavy guns on the ridge above us opened up. So now the friendly guns start to open up. It was fine to hear them stamping their defiance. It made one want to get grips with his aggressors in the brief silences one could hear our chaps laughing. So I want you to imagine thi... | <0>2881<0>2374<0>1675<0>3990<0>2710<0>2309<0>3612<0>83<0>3750<0>623<0>793<0>2136<0>2328<0>1076<0>2378<0>2582<0>1254<0>3522<0>1816<0>2577<0>1198<0>678<0>1990<0>3240<0>2336<0>1710<0>2164<0>2122<0>375<0>2629<0>3274<0>1175<0>1568<0>1085<0>2733<0>3457<0>3153<0>3603<0>2832<0>2127<0>2008<0>3407<0>3407<0>3122<0>2991<0>3667<0>1... |
You're getting shelled. You're getting crushed. There's dead bodies coming up from the soil.

And here we go. In the brief silences, one could hear our chaps laughing. | <0>2494<0>809<0>1992<0>142<0>1137<0>3176<0>3874<0>3561<0>3122<0>2776<0>2632<0>154<0>3739<0>1222<0>1950<0>3116<0>3158<0>3462<0>3462<0>3528<0>1277<0>3828<0>3875<0>138<0>3478<0>2826<0>2826<0>1736<0>2082<0>3595<0>511<0>3790<0>2710<0>2309<0>2596<0>3424<0>3729<0>1517<0>2037<0>3967<0>2492<0>465<0>3524<0>3240<0>66<0>2001<0>114... |
The danger seemed to fill them with a wild excitement. Every time a shell came near them and missed, they would taunt the unseen Huns for their poor gunnery. | <0>3207<0>2075<0>3204<0>3374<0>1465<0>1527<0>3641<0>3217<0>3374<0>155<0>4038<0>1992<0>190<0>3557<0>3458<0>2303<0>250<0>2813<0>197<0>2034<0>1738<0>614<0>1990<0>2787<0>2881<0>2474<0>724<0>2317<0>216<0>2516<0>939<0>662<0>3541<0>773<0>3754<0>2348<0>1679<0>3365<0>1517<0>1644<0>1351<0>3406<0>1139<0>1139<0>3595<0>1878<0>2511<... |
Giving what they considered necessary corrections. Five minutes more left, old cock! If you'd only dropped 50, you'd get us! So he's giving corrections to the guns. | <0>2840<0>2598<0>2881<0>884<0>3217<0>932<0>3643<0>339<0>3643<0>1816<0>2710<0>2659<0>2801<0>154<0>1255<0>3172<0>810<0>1062<0>303<0>3484<0>2060<0>782<0>1517<0>3217<0>3217<0>182<0>3538<0>4004<0>3130<0>620<0>716<0>4055<0>1236<0>1517<0>3830<0>1062<0>2612<0>2492<0>2492<0>2492<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>1989<0>2007<... |
These men didn't know what fear was, or if they did, they kept it to themselves. And these were the chaps whom I was to order. | <0>3526<0>1967<0>3875<0>548<0>1351<0>939<0>3462<0>2888<0>2432<0>573<0>1992<0>556<0>2582<0>1480<0>327<0>2062<0>3435<0>1250<0>645<0>921<0>1719<0>573<0>3122<0>3435<0>2511<0>1675<0>3321<0>1339<0>1649<0>1396<0>2070<0>2070<0>2517<0>3691<0>1812<0>707<0>4066<0>3875<0>3374<0>1102<0>1142<0>3812<0>3015<0>2751<0>573<0>2289<0>95<0>... |
So we haven't heard too much about that. And you know, Tony's, Tony and Leif talked about it, you know, being, being, getting shot at and being in really close calls situations and like everyone's laughing and it's, it does happen. World War One, don't hear much about it, but here you go. | <0>1198<0>969<0>882<0>3530<0>2142<0>2705<0>2703<0>262<0>216<0>1812<0>366<0>1718<0>1423<0>810<0>543<0>2205<0>2004<0>365<0>2960<0>3612<0>1773<0>3875<0>3603<0>1328<0>3882<0>3967<0>3428<0>2488<0>34<0>638<0>216<0>1182<0>3407<0>2106<0>374<0>275<0>1351<0>181<0>1613<0>809<0>2672<0>1129<0>2110<0>3393<0>1084<0>154<0>1357<0>1071<... |
Unbelievable, and that's part of the way that military, that you, not just military, but any bad, you get in a bad situation, you know, a little humor goes a long, a long way.

Back to the book. We entered a trench. And this is, by the way, this is, I'm obviously not reading the entire book. I'm going to some highlights so there's a little bit of a skip, you know, uh, time here as they, as they move towards, more towards the front. Back to the book. We entered a trench. | <0>2883<0>2715<0>2666<0>1992<0>122<0>1265<0>2460<0>4011<0>915<0>1171<0>949<0>3823<0>809<0>2133<0>969<0>3427<0>1334<0>154<0>3204<0>716<0>716<0>3199<0>2205<0>353<0>1376<0>2840<0>1057<0>3541<0>3997<0>3002<0>495<0>1715<0>1034<0>3299<0>366<0>2142<0>3541<0>599<0>3649<0>2826<0>2060<0>1517<0>1517<0>4066<0>1989<0>611<0>3946<0>1... |
Holes were scooped out in the side of it, just large enough to shelter a man crouching. Each hole contained a sleeping soldier who looked as dead as the occupant of a catacomb. Some of the holes had been blown in. All you saw of the late occupant was a protruding arm or leg. | <0>112<0>112<0>1649<0>895<0>1032<0>696<0>3079<0>426<0>3677<0>3002<0>3457<0>3457<0>1719<0>3838<0>1328<0>2511<0>1812<0>1998<0>275<0>3122<0>2818<0>3175<0>3522<0>1668<0>1517<0>1816<0>1111<0>3601<0>3446<0>2824<0>3522<0>2135<0>1376<0>3526<0>3460<0>1351<0>374<0>1324<0>1990<0>3130<0>3460<0>908<0>1111<0>1155<0>3186<0>1139<0>95<... |
So you're in this trenches, but, and you're protected somewhat, but you got to dig another hole into the wall of the trench. | <0>2435<0>3155<0>3861<0>3359<0>1915<0>3176<0>2027<0>3445<0>2826<0>716<0>570<0>2721<0>1719<0>2925<0>1517<0>2037<0>1989<0>2492<0>465<0>1942<0>869<0>1071<0>871<0>2001<0>1614<0>1710<0>3874<0>382<0>1265<0>367<0>1638<0>2290<0>770<0>898<0>154<0>4004<0>2044<0>1076<0>148<0>2787<0>1265<0>2072<0>2060<0>2703<0>2544<0>2520<0>1618<0... |

Back to the book. The enemy shelling was growing more intense as was always the way on the psalm.

A good many of our trenches were directly on filleted, and if you don't know what that is, on filleted is like, | <0>3541<0>871<0>746<0>65<0>3522<0>2881<0>1139<0>1085<0>2970<0>2585<0>1998<0>3612<0>1568<0>1139<0>2060<0>3435<0>3828<0>567<0>2142<0>3898<0>4067<0>2549<0>2554<0>2991<0>3874<0>2751<0>87<0>1062<0>1942<0>1057<0>2181<0>2648<0>2393<0>1198<0>974<0>3486<0>3621<0>2378<0>3647<0>1940<0>768<0>362<0>1782<0>3445<0>381<0>3122<0>1520<0... |

And how much more exposed you are in that situation. So picture if I told you to shoot 10, uh, some of these 10 cans and I lined them up in a straight line perpendicular to you.

You can, if you hit one, you might hit two, you might hit three, you might hit all of them with one shot.

You never want to have the enemy. They're basically on your flank and you're lined up for them to shoot at you. It's a, it's a nightmare. | <0>345<0>75<0>3008<0>1318<0>190<0>652<0>484<0>1032<0>3844<0>3934<0>3539<0>3678<0>2110<0>303<0>3672<0>1295<0>473<0>662<0>3672<0>3320<0>780<0>1795<0>3984<0>1768<0>1832<0>2217<0>284<0>2309<0>2723<0>1323<0>3341<0>2524<0>2854<0>3732<0>3720<0>3067<0>1328<0>3900<0>150<0>3837<0>2475<0>3407<0>2753<0>1990<0>413<0>3564<0>3522<0>2... |
Shells burst just behind the parapet. When they didn't burst on it. When they didn't burst on it. It was about this point in my breaking in that I received a blow to the head. And thank God for the man who invented the steel helmet so he's getting hit with some shrapnel. | <0>3376<0>2881<0>34<0>3235<0>158<0>2001<0>65<0>3155<0>3365<0>2881<0>1198<0>2328<0>3823<0>3505<0>638<0>2389<0>2197<0>2133<0>2389<0>2739<0>2135<0>353<0>353<0>3156<0>1858<0>2881<0>1100<0>3909<0>3445<0>1520<0>1816<0>3828<0>2060<0>1198<0>3122<0>3662<0>1292<0>1942<0>1989<0>3967<0>2929<0>2991<0>3667<0>939<0>95<0>190<0>556<0>1... |
Night came down and we found that our carriage had no lights. It must have been nearing dawn when I was away. And again, I skipped a little bit, but here we are obviously using a carriage. | <0>3603<0>776<0>278<0>3823<0>3376<0>2331<0>2824<0>1277<0>465<0>2631<0>1782<0>379<0>1334<0>3240<0>1140<0>1520<0>3454<0>3299<0>668<0>2374<0>570<0>1111<0>154<0>570<0>1265<0>3984<0>2197<0>3217<0>3204<0>2633<0>3157<0>2739<0>303<0>3691<0>3240<0>366<0>480<0>2352<0>3821<0>2378<0>2037<0>465<0>1989<0>3967<0>2492<0>2492<0>1989<0>... |
It must have been nearing dawn when I was awakened by the distant thunder of guns. | <0>4031<0>3909<0>1104<0>2750<0>1517<0>2258<0>597<0>3254<0>2633<0>1351<0>1308<0>3092<0>2888<0>2082<0>275<0>366<0>154<0>2888<0>3393<0>457<0>2833<0>3934<0>521<0>1328<0>1715<0>3898<0>419<0>2410<0>1539<0>823<0>2542<0>1992<0>983<0>1062<0>2492<0>1748<0>2864<0>2787<0>1468<0>3153<0>3823<0>1517<0>1467<0>2582<0>3860<0>366<0>1140<... |
I crouched in my corner, cold and cramped, trying to visualize the terror of it. | <0>3236<0>225<0>599<0>863<0>1183<0>1129<0>809<0>1719<0>2582<0>262<0>13<0>1392<0>3756<0>1111<0>1111<0>3240<0>2044<0>707<0>1942<0>2696<0>2703<0>189<0>2707<0>189<0>1878<0>2824<0>345<0>3391<0>275<0>3612<0>262<0>124<0>1517<0>1844<0>3252<0>634<0>1615<0>1062<0>3635<0>2327<0>275<0>1308<0>2446<0>1940<0>2582<0>1748<0>2492<0>2492... |
I asked myself whether I was afraid. | <0>3164<0>2787<0>2494<0>1048<0>2119<0>2119<0>1099<0>216<0>1198<0>1992<0>275<0>216<0>3535<0>889<0>974<0>1990<0>374<0>1231<0>4055<0>1575<0>599<0>3134<0>3884<0>2955<0>3359<0>599<0>1738<0>229<0>1339<0>983<0>1914<0>517<0>3662<0>748<0>3015<0>1481<0>2236<0>3263<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
Not of death, I told myself. But of being afraid, yes. Most horribly. He was most horribly afraid. Not of death or being wounded. He was afraid of being afraid. | <0>3606<0>1966<0>1175<0>1729<0>2860<0>3823<0>2520<0>2099<0>3526<0>95<0>1850<0>2645<0>3530<0>2144<0>4062<0>1062<0>1950<0>3913<0>262<0>493<0>1793<0>3122<0>457<0>3307<0>559<0>2378<0>2710<0>2057<0>3122<0>406<0>1914<0>2739<0>3571<0>2559<0>3220<0>3222<0>1277<0>3626<0>2516<0>3559<0>1025<0>1758<0>511<0>840<0>1277<0>3153<0>1568... |
This first experience in No Man's Land did away with my last flabby fear. | <0>2205<0>3997<0>3002<0>2115<0>2750<0>2133<0>307<0>1465<0>716<0>3984<0>2585<0>950<0>2823<0>1517<0>3462<0>969<0>974<0>462<0>3754<0>2001<0>317<0>2001<0>949<0>3612<0>324<0>3481<0>573<0>2991<0>3898<0>3331<0>3115<0>2136<0>3174<0>3082<0>207<0>262<0>559<0>652<0>1517<0>2374<0>2708<0>1944<0>3182<0>3612<0>1977<0>3153<0>1377<0>97... |
That if I was afraid, I would show it. One is often afraid. Any soldier who asserts the contrary may not be a liar, but he certainly does not speak the truth. | <0>3036<0>3823<0>355<0>2787<0>3172<0>2455<0>376<0>640<0>983<0>3341<0>2787<0>3348<0>2775<0>3612<0>3732<0>2348<0>3768<0>3912<0>1782<0>142<0>1544<0>2251<0>1062<0>2492<0>1425<0>54<0>3541<0>3177<0>3573<0>1139<0>2633<0>158<0>2523<0>2307<0>1748<0>1062<0>2840<0>2840<0>2004<0>1575<0>974<0>3407<0>1400<0>484<0>974<0>2549<0>1844<0... |
Physical fear is too deeply rooted to be overcome by any amount of training. It remains then to train a man in spiritual pride. | <0>465<0>3480<0>4050<0>1998<0>2042<0>1105<0>838<0>176<0>715<0>1339<0>1719<0>2158<0>3153<0>155<0>2475<0>2135<0>1822<0>1406<0>1320<0>915<0>573<0>3365<0>1793<0>2485<0>3486<0>3828<0>3898<0>3122<0>147<0>4004<0>3267<0>2488<0>3915<0>2195<0>2881<0>95<0>2234<0>1111<0>366<0>969<0>3427<0>2327<0>1730<0>556<0>556<0>2004<0>1062<0>26... |
So that when he fears, nobody knows it. | <0>2352<0>1517<0>1878<0>413<0>904<0>2027<0>3175<0>3319<0>2115<0>333<0>3843<0>573<0>1675<0>1812<0>3535<0>1517<0>2663<0>4066<0>2612<0>4058<0>1688<0>2538<0>235<0>3598<0>1480<0>2520<0>1377<0>2729<0>3224<0>2176<0>3204<0>1517<0>1038<0>2352<0>2577<0>3180<1>1381<1>1044<1>3423<1>3102<1>2074<1>2659<1>1119<1>4063<1>1510<1>106<1>3... |
Cowardice is contagious.

Military courage, therefore, is a form of unselfishness. | <0>4055<0>786<0>3823<0>2303<0>1668<0>1517<0>2331<0>31<0>979<0>1344<0>2331<0>1878<0>1140<0>303<0>2432<0>142<0>95<0>3687<0>3240<0>1914<0>1384<0>3435<0>3240<0>366<0>2228<0>251<0>873<0>1676<0>1950<0>3967<0>3116<0>4058<0>702<0>3186<0>317<0>138<0>3478<0>3732<0>1711<0>2165<0>1790<0>974<0>1520<0>4007<0>511<0>2511<0>1057<0>3913... |
