Never in our history has there been a time like the present -- Plans for reaching you quickly with pursuit are jeopardized -- We are virtually a floating ammunition dump -- We came 4,700 miles and are pigeon-holed! -- The news from Wavell is all bad -- There goes our ferry route -- Second lieutenants are expendable -- You are not forgotten men -- A collection of the worst landings I have ever seen -- I'm all shot to hell! -- These guys are really inexperienced -- Someone is crazy! 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.
