A monster-like face is carved behind the brain of the profile of an American GI. Iβve often wondered if the soldier who carved this is describing βa monster withinβ that affects conscience when one has to kill other human beings during war.

To my Chum
(Anonymous poem written by a British soldier for the trench newspaper edited by the Sherwood Foresters regiment during the Great War, βThe Wipers Timesβ. Typography (and typos) respected from original text).
No more weβll share the same old barn,
The same old dug-out, same old yarn,
No more a tin of bully share,
Nor split our rum by a star-shellβs flare,

What times weβve had, both good and bad,
Weβve shared what shelter could be had,
The same crump-hole when the whizz-bangs shrieked,
The same old billet that always leaked,
And nowβ youβve βstopped one.β

Weβd weathered the storm two winters long,
Weβd managed to grin when all went wrong,
Because together we fought and fed,
Our hearts were light; but nowβ youβre dead
And I am Mateless.

Well, old lad, hereβs peace to you,
And for me, well, thereβs my job to do,
For you and the others who lie at rest,
Assured may be that weβll do our best
In vengeance.

Just one more cross by a strafed road-side,
With itβs G.R.C., and a name for guide,
But itβs only myself who has lost a friend,
And though I may fight through to the end,
No dug-out or billet will be the same,
All pals can only be pals in name,
But weβll all carry on till the end of the game
Because you lie there.
