- The Somme
Mametz Downs towards Mametz Wood

"Sweet sister death has gone debauched today, she stalks on this high ground with strumpet confidence, makes no coy veiling of her appetite, but leers from you to me with all her parts discovered. By one and one the line gaps, where her fancy will, howsoever they may howl for their virginity."

David Jones (15th RWF), artist and poet, from his prose-poem 'In Parenthesis'.
