Quotes by William Hussey  (?)

“The memory of these men is all the more poignant for the fact that they lived and died defending a country that, for the most part, despised them.”
William Hussey, The Boy I Love

“That is the irony of this war — love between fighting men is something to be encouraged and applauded. Just as long as it is the right kind of love.”
William Hussey, The Boy I Love

“And there is another thought that howls at me after that interview with the colonel. Commanders like Gallagher would happily throw all his men into the meatgrinder if it meant eventual victory. All except those of us he considers degenerates. Our lives aren’t worthy of annihilation in the wastes of No Man’s Land. Such a death is too honourable. For us, if we are discovered, court-martial, disgrace and imprisonment with hard labour is a lenient punishment. For Gallagher, we deserve no better than an executioner’s bullet.”
William Hussey, The Boy I Love
