Line 62:
* [[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)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 Atat the Rear]]: Corporal Himmelstoss.
* [[Stranger in a Familiar Land]]: Paul feels like this, when he visits home.
* [[Title Drop]]: On the last page. A cable from the High Command stating this is sent, at the end of the war {{spoiler|the main character apparently died nearly the last day, like Real Life anti-war British poet soldier [[wikipedia:Wilfred Owen|Wilfred Owen]]}}.
