"I saw the Piper tonight, Ryssa."

"He was striding across the battlefield, towards the enemy lines, playing his flute. There was a line of young men in khaki following him. I was one of those men, Ryssa. I'm going to die tomorrow. But please, don't be sad. I'll be with the Piper." Letter from Walter to Ryssa, Ryssa of Avonlea(?)

4,000 dead now in this war.

I know it's not a big number, compared to two World Wars and even the "police action" that was Korea.

It would be much higher if our medic corps didn't have the advancements they did.

Still...

Four THOUSAND.

It seems like a big number to me.
