The bayonet thing got to me again. You get ordered to bayonet charge and you take your bullets out of your gun so you don't accidentally fire on your mates. But then you take the bayonet off and use it to staple your goodbye letter to the wall because for all you've basically been sitting on top of the Turkish trenches for 4 months, you know you won't get close enough actually use the bloody thing on an enemy.
