Claire North Quotes

But I Have Seen Many Men For Whom Death Truly Is The End Walk Towards Their Demise For Reasons No Greater Than That It Was What They Were Told To Do. On The Beaches Of Normandy, Where The Bodies Floated In The Water Beside The Falling Ramps Of The Landing Craft, I Saw Men Run Into Machine-gun Fire Who Would Say, "Hell, I Never Thought It Would Come To This, But Now I'm Here, What's A Guy To Do?" With No Going Back, And No Going Forward, They Went To Their Deaths With No Better Plan Immediately To Hand, Having Gambled That Their Choices Would Not Narrow So Far, And Having Been Found To Be Wrong.
