WWI devastated civillian life just as much as it did those soldiers ho fought in it

But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime…― Wilfred Owen“My centre is giving way, my right is in retreat, situation excellent. I attack.”
― Ferdinand Foch“No commander was ever privileged to lead a finer force; no commander ever derived greater inspiration from the performance of his troops.”
― John J. Pershing“All blood runs red.”
― Phrase painted on the side of the plane flown by Eugene Bullard in World War I the first black comba‘It takes 15,000 casualties to train a major general.’ (Ferdinand Foch)
