I suppose you want to know how I felt the first time under fire. Well I'll tell you what every man will if he speaks the
truth. I was frightened. Everyone is frightened under shell fire but the thing is not to show it. If an officer ducks and runs for cover he may as well quit because he's through so far as his men are concerned. They always look to their officer and if they trust him he can ask them to do anything and they'll do it.  It doesn't take long to show up a quitter out here. There aren't many though.
