WHEN WIRE THE WAR END?
“Whkn will the war end ? you ask. God knows, but certainly not while untold thousands of slackers play football and race and strike in England. I suppose one has to be here in the midst of it to realise the tremendous gravity of the situation. The enemy are magnificently trained and equipped and are splendid fighters, despite all reports to the contrary, and if anyone thinks they are short of ammunition let them come here for 24 hours and be shelled. They will soon change their minds. There is a certain amount of excitement in the actual fighting, but It is awful when in support you
are shelled continuously.”—From a Canadian officer’s letter from Ypres.
