The Story

"Is your man in the infantry? Do you know what it is like?" asks Capt. Athol Stewart in Holland, 1944. "Of course you don't. You have never slept in a hole in the ground which you have dug while someone tried to kill you...A trench is dug just wide enough for the shoulders, as long as the body, and as deep as there is time. It may be occupied for two hours or two weeks."
