Quote

This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers, not only in this Island but in every land, who will render faithful service in this war, but whose names will never be known, whose deeds will never be recorded. This is a War of the Unknown Warriors

Let them be your friends let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.
