He shrugged his shoulders. "No use trying to spare shells here, though, even on French towns. The harder we smash them the sooner it'll be over. Look here, sir." He pointed out the men who sat, their telephone receivers strapped over their ears. Each served a gun.
The young man who was sending a message looked up as he finished and smiled at the group observing him. "I got that smile, too," Russ informed him.
