“When I see them here, in their rooms, in their offices, about their occupations, I feel an irresistible attraction in it, I would like to be here too and forget the war; but also it repels me, it is so narrow, how can that fill a man’s life, he ought to smash it to bits; how can they do it, while out at the front the splinters are whining over the shell-holes and the star-shells go up, the wounded are carried back on waterproof sheets and comrades crouch in the trenches. — They are different men here, men I cannot properly understand, whom I envy and despise.”
― All Quiet on the Western Front

“For many men, the collection of souvenir and a little light looting of the German dugouts was a pleasant distraction that might well prove fatal if older, cooler heads had not called them to their duty in consolidating the captured trenches.
“Two or three of us went down in a fine German dugout. There were cigars, tined food, and German helmets. We all took a helmet, cigars and tobacco, coming out with these German helmets on. We ran straight into our captain. “Yes” he said, You all look very nice. But get some fucking digging done.” Private Albert Andrews, 19th Battalion, Manchester Regiment, 21 Brigade, 30 Division”
