Men, Women and Guns
Publisher Description
Men, Women and Guns is a Fiction Short story Book. The book says that Nothing in this war has so struck those who have fought in it as its impersonal nature. From the day the British Army moved north, and the first battle of Ypres commenced — and with it trench warfare as we know it now — it has been, save for a few interludes, a contest between automatons, backed by every known scientific device. Personal rancour against the opposing automatons separated by twenty or thirty yards of smelling mud — who stew in the same discomfort as yourself — is apt to give way to an acute animosity against life in general, and the accursed fate in particular which so foolishly decided your sex at birth.
