If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two
sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international

fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are
not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the
arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.

What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time.
