On the front line

"It is surprising how quickly I got used to being in danger."

"The front line is the place to see what a man is like. Men who are wild and thoughtless in training pull themselves together and often make the very best of mates in the firing line."

"It is really grand to see the way some fellows take hold of themselves and although they are frightened and nervous do their best to disguise the fact and carry on with their work to the best of their ability."
