"We are waiting for the long-promised invasion, so are the fishes"-Winston Churchill (1940)


October, 1918, the 500 men walked quietly through the Argonne Forest as the Germans approached. 

“I feel like I got lied to.” complained Charles.

“What could you possibly mean by that?” exclaimed Nelson.

“Well I came for adventure and danger and it all feels dull.” Charles replied.

Just then the mortar landed. Mere feet away.
