"I don't object to corpses so long as they are fresh - I soon found that I could reason thus with them. Between you and me is all the difference between life and death. But this is an accepted fact that men are killed and I have no more to learn about that from you, and the difference is no greater than that because your jaw hangs and your flesh changes colour or blood oozes from your wounds. With the wounded it is different. It always distresses me to see them." – Second Lieutenant George Mallory, 40th Siege Battery, Somme Offensive, France, 15th August 1916. #ww1 #reality #stayzero #zerofoxtrot
