"We saw the cheery soldiers smiling under their ten hats as they marched off to the front line, whistling and singing and joking as they went, and we watched the remnants struggling back haggard and silent under their dripping capes in the rain." This single sentence highlights war and its effects perfectly. Morpurgo is a master.

"I had seen the same grey faces looking out from under their helmets somewhere before. All that was different were the uniforms – they were grey now with red piping, and the helmets were no longer round with a broad brim." Michael Morpurgo, you utter master of the literary arts.
