That's all very grand, but I don't see what it has to do with us traipsing around cemeteries ticking off names of dead soldiers. Why do you think I am interested in it? Because you're a boy. Boys fight. ERM, and boys like him. Whatever you say, your reasons are somewhere in it all. Is you dressed in uniform, doing something exciting in the mud, doing male bonding and bio noting Germans writing poems and shagging French tarts? You're not here with me now, are you? You're here 70 years ago with all your pals with funny names Herbert and Reginald and Alfred and Sid, You and your love affair with this war. This isn't a holiday. It's you having a mind ****. Do you have to swear so much? Yes, I think I do. Do you think wars are good? Well, I'll get you out of the house.
