Quotation of the Day for December 27, 2010



"War is wretched and quite uninteresting. Wish I were back dodging street cars on Broadway for excitement. Am that tired of being shot at! Got hit in the cap and bayonet---Do you mind? Have been in the trenches now nearly six weeks. Haven't washed for twenty days. Expect to get a ten days' rest after another two weeks."

- William Thaw, an American serving in the French Foreign Legion, from a November 27, 1914 letter home describing trench warfare in the First World War.
