One saw too that men did desire to be strengthened by the past. If we had known the past so that it became almost a part of our own memory of things, and sustained and comforted as good memories will, then half the history of England would have been behind the armies in France, taking some of the awful strangeness from the experience of terrible things. For, wherever they went in France, they went where other Englishmen had been before them, and had done and suffered much as they, had marched a...nd been weary, had sung and drunk, and fought and died.
