Ottoway Volume 2 - Otto vs Tank

Passionate, biased, political. Events where millions of innocent people (mostly boys) were killed make me feel things, call me a bleeding heart. Zero-Dialogue scenes are my favorite.

'Can you cook dinner?' shouted a heckler. 'Yes! Can you drive a coach and four?' replied Constance Markievicz (1868-1927) on her campaign for women's votes driving her carriage with four matched grey horses. The daughter of an Arctic explorer in an Anglo-Irish family, she fought against the British occupation of Ireland and was sentenced to death, though released in 1917 under a general amnesty. Arrested again the following year for protesting conscription in the First World War, she stood for Sinn Féin and took 66 per cent of the vote from prison, and refused to take her seat – then she was in any case, still imprisoned.

"I -- I don't know, mon cher Jean. It appeared in a flash of lightning -- then it was gone. The shock... the sight of the lieutenant lying there... beheaded... boned like a flounder. The thunder... the shells whistling... the earth trembling. Who is to say, Jeannot, what such things do to the mind? Ghosts have been seen rising from the endless seas of the dead. Out there on the bloody fields of slaughter, who is to say what we saw -- or think we saw!"

-- CLAUDE, French Army soldier to Jean, c. 1916, during the Great War

[Image description: tags which say #or MAYBE it could mean that horses ere less likely to try and fight in the War #do you think their patriotism would stay strong even after war killed so many of them? #read a fucking book]

in World War 1 around 8 million horses died but in World War 2 it was under a million which can only mean horses started to evolve bullet resistance
