Quote by Ben Barnes
I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war. – Ben Barnes
