    I've always found the following the best 'capture' of everything I associate with the world wars and ultimate sacrifice.
    This fragment always makes me cry. It's ironic. All of the 4 seasons of blackadder are funny as hell, including the last one about WW1, all the way to the final scene. And then the last minute the atmoshpere suddenly turns and you get punched in the gut so hard you are left with tears, not grasping what happened.

    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
