"Men seemed to wander across No Man's Land and into the enemy trenches, as if the battle was a great bore to them. To me it seemed they must soon wake up and run. ... They could not realize the great danger they were in. ... It all seemed so unreal. How could I believe that the little brown figures moving about below me were really men? Men going to the glory of victory or the glory of death."(War in the Air. Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson. Canadian War Museum.)
