A Regimental Surgeon, page 16
So far as we were concerned, we had so much to carry in our packs, that we could not have carried even minted gold as loot. We were far too tired to have given even one thought to the women of the towns we occupied, save and except that women meant, usually, fires burning and food cooking. We inferred that all the crimes against women that were committed in Belgium were at the hands of the Transport, the Commissariat; the less militant branches of the Army. They alone were not tired, were dragged by weary horses, had sufficient to eat and always a place in which to sleep.
