“The famished men were learning a lesson held through history. A soldier's duty is not only, not even mainly, to fight. More often it is to walk forward when hungry, to perform one's duty while in pain, and to persevere in the face of the most intense hardship. Men ate moss, candles, lip salve, and broth from boiled shoes.” — Jack Kelly
