4.

At dawn the ridge emerges massed and dun [brownish dark grey]

In the wild purple of the glowering [glaring] sun,

Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud

The menacing scarred slope; and, one by one,

Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire.

The barrage roars and lifts. Then, clumsily bowed

With bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear,

Men jostle and climb to meet the bristling fire.

Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear,

They leave their trenches, going over the top,

While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists,

And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists,

Flounders in mud. O Jesu, make it stop!


—Siegfried Sassoon, 1918

Nicholas II

Telegram to Wilhelm II

July 29, 1914, 1:00 A.M.

" Am glad you are back. In this most serious moment, I appeal to you to help me. An ignoble [despised] war has

been declared upon a weak country [Serbia]. The indignation [resentment] in Russia, shared fully by me, is

enormous. I foresee that very soon I shall be overwhelmed by the pressure upon me, and be forced to take

extreme measures which will lead to war. To try and avoid such a calamity [disaster] as a European war, I beg

you in the name of our old friendship to do what you can to stop your allies from going too far."
