  4. 💀 THE DAY A LITERARY WARDEN'S SON DIED IN THE MUD
    September 27
    On September 27, 1915, Second Lieutenant John Kipling, the only son of Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling, was killed at the Battle of Loos in northern France. The battle had begun two days earlier, and the young officer — a former schoolmaster who had joined the army at 22 — was killed in action, a loss that stunned the British public. Rudyard Kipling, who had glorified war in his poetry, never recovered from the death of his son.

  10. A quotation from Hemingway

    I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice, and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the sacrifices were like the stockyards in Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.

    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American writer
    A Farewell to Arms, ch. 27 (1929)
