Using the above as a model, we could use Lonsdale Battalion quotes for any of the above. In fact we have used many quotes directly in transcripts of original documents to provide direct information about an event or series of actions. But for the purpose of this site and their uses here, we simply want the following quotes to pay homage to the individual authors; to provide the reader with a direct link to the past through the words of those who once uttered them.
