“Men who joined us later were inclined to disbelieve us when we spoke of the incident, and no wonder for as the months rolled by, we who were actually there, could hardly realize that it had happened, except for [the] fact that every little detail stood out so well in our memory.” W. A. Quinton, of the 1st Bedfordshires (Modris Eksteins, Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age).
