"Bill, It's Almost Time" (November 23rd 1917)

"It's almost time, Bill.
Hell, it's almost time.
This bastard mud,
This driving rain!
Bill, it's almost time."

"I'm only seventeen Bill.
God, I don't want to die.
This bloody war,
This throbbing pain.
Bill, it's almost time."

"Why did it start Bill?
I don't want to kill.
There goes the signal Bill.
Bill, Bill, ........ it's time."

(T.E.T 1963)
