Sebastian Faulks Quote

There is an arch supported by four vast columns. Etched over hundreds and hundreds of yards of stone, furlongs of stone, there are names: Who are these, these? The men who died in this battle?No. The lost, the ones they did not find. The others are in the cemeteries.These are just the ... the unfound. When she could speak again. From the whole war?The man shook his head. Just these fields.Elizabeth sat on the steps. No one told me. My God no one told me,
