British soldiers showing respect for their foe

" Concerned!" Caption: Disappointed Tommy to Officer (after waiting several hours for an expected assault by the enemy which has not come off): " I do hope as ow nothin serious as appened to the poor devils, sir" In some areas of the Western Front, there was a " live and let live" attitude towards the enemy and many British soldiers retained a grudging respect for their German counterparts. Wiring parties or stretcher-bearers would often work parallel to each other in No Mans Land at night, and there was occasional banter thrown from trench to opposite trench. For those who had first hand experience of Germany humanity, it often took the death of comrades to stir them into retaliation. Date: 1915
