What can I say about the First World War, a war in which I served as an infantryman, a war I hated at the start and to which I never warmed as it proceeded?

Naturally our Government would not consent to such terms, and so the war had to proceed.
'The Haunted Man' is about communication barriers between men and women, and in that song it's a woman's wait for her husband to come back from war.
