Excerpt from S. S. A. 10: Notes on the Work of a British Volunteer Ambulance, Convoy With the 2nd French Army (of Verdun)
In fact - but why labour the subject The only thing to do is to make yourself as familiar as you possibly can with all the rules of the game, and try to follow them. You cannot do it for long; you must run off the rails somewhere. Then you shrug your shoulders and wait. Everybody knows all about it and understands. No, there is no use for brains in the army. It has been laid down that brains are not to count.
