"Who knows but it may be given to us, after this life, to meet again in the old quarters, and to again hastily don our war gear while the long roll summons to battle? Who knows but again the old flags may face each other while the cries of victory fill a summer day? And after the battle, then the slain and wounded will arise and there will be talking and laughter and cheers and all will say: Did it not seem real? Was it not as in the old days?"

-Berry Benson Reminiscences
