came TO my mind, and found it
impossible to fit happiness in with
that picture.

days fighting as they puffed at
their cigarets when ten minutes be
fore they were ready to snarl at a
word. And I've seen fellow come
back jumpy. worn, caked with mud,
hadn't had food for the Lord knows
how many hours; I've seen him
with the bloody bsndage dried to
his wound, turn away from the
