I've read a lot of war writing, even World War I writing, the British war poetry of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves's memoir 'Goodbye to All That', and a civilian memoir, 'Testament of Youth', by Vera Brittain.

My valleys are higher than most people's peaks...Nothing can bring a real sense of security...The uniform makes for brotherhood...I can only wait for the final amnesia...A recipe is a story that ends with a good meal...You will always be lucky...
