[Verginius Rufus]

Robert Graves was a British officer in the war and had to read his enlisted men's letters before they were sent to the recipients. In Goodbye to All That he recalls one letter in which a man wrote to his wife about the great time he had had with French whores, "but I'd rather sleep with you."
