Going Over The Top


a phrase used during world war i to describe men climbing out of their trenches to attack the opposing trenches. before running into a wall of rifle and machine gun fire, the attackers were usually given a warm meal, a bit of rum, and said potential goodbyes to each other before facing almost certain death. it was considered the greatest test a man could ever face.
“as time p-ssed, apprehension became acute as i weighed my chances for surviving the attack. no; i could not so easily give up. the grip of life was tightening on me and more than ever i wanted to live.” -british liaison officer before going over the top at the third battle of ypres
