A woman said laughingly to me, “If you kill the Kaiser you shall have
my daughter.” I replied that I could do that all right, and that she
could have a hair of his moustache: _Private R. Coombe_.
Laughter!
Although the war has its stern, hard, realistic side, there is also
a humorous side, especially so with our Tommies. They turn almost
everything into a joke; in fact, I think that is the secret of their
wonderful sang-froid: _Quartermaster-Sergt. Ridewood, 2nd Welsh
Regiment_.
