Line 91:
* [[Serrated Blade of Pain]]: The narrator mentions that veterans on the front take away from new soldiers any sawtooth bayonets they find on them, as anyone captured with them is killed outright rather than taken prisoner.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: All characters became such people.
* [[Shovel Strike]]: The experienced soldiers sharpen their shovels into bladed weapons (a bit like a [[wikipedia:Monkchr(27)Monk's spade|monk's spade]]), and use them against anyone who tries to rush their trench. The inexperienced soldiers use their cruddy bayonets in melee and die horribly.
* [[Soldiers at the Rear]]: Corporal Himmelstoss.
* [[Stranger in a Familiar Land]]: Paul feels like this, when he visits home.
