We stand in the zero, courage abounding
Russian soldiers nearby, all around us resounding
From our trenches, we strive for the same goal
To resist war's horrors, our courage is whole
Trench warfare takes its toll, as we remain
To brave the chaos, and each other sustain
Our courage should never be taken for granted
For a precious gift, it stands unmatched

My grandfather made these,
far away in nineteen sixteen,
under different skies.

(Trench art , made by Edward Jones, Mesopotamia / Iraq - cannon shells and rifle cartridges. There are a pair.)

"Russian commanders were even heard referring to their soldiers as “single use”, as they threw them into hopeless attacks on what he called a “conveyor belt of death”." independent.ie/world-news/euro
