Quotes

  • "I couldn't help feeling sorry for the enormous number of prisoners we seemed to collect almost everywhere...it was really most inconsiderate of them to get captured in such large bodies."
  • "One can't help feeling that it is a great bit of luck to have been able to have a practice or two, so to speak, with the Italians. What more delightful people to fight could there be?"
  • "This is a good war to be in out here, because hardly anyone gets hurt on either side. The Italians give in before we have time to do them any harm and before they have much of a chance of doing us any harm."
