Iain Pears - He had volunteered early, rather than waiting to be conscripted,...

He had volunteered early, rather than waiting to be conscripted, for he felt a duty and an obligation to serve, and believed that.. Being willing to fight for his country and the liberty it represented, would make some small difference... His idealism was one of the casualties of the carnage [of Verdun].
