This is murder! -- I deeply regret failure to hold Abda Area -- I was thoroughly enjoying myself -- Nothing will ever happen to me -- He was wholly unrecognizable -- How can we operate against such odds? -- Every day a nightmare! -- Nothing less than desertion -- Thousands of men gone completely mad -- Senseless in all senses -- Give us 24 hours to get out of this God-damned place! -- Epilogue -- Appendix.
