The Secret Battle

I am going to write down some of the history of Harry Penrose because I do not think full justice has been done to him and because there must be many other young men of his kind who flung themselves into this war at the beginning of it and have gone out of it after many sufferings with the unjust and ignorant condemnation of their fellows. At times it may be I shall seem to digress into the dreary commonplaces of all war-chronicles but you will never understand the ruthless progression of Penroses tragedy without some acquaintance with each chapter of his life in the army.
