Is it churlish to suggest that many, especially in WW1, did not "give" their tomorrows but had those days and years "taken" from them? Which is even more tragic.

You may have misunderstood me. I was thinking of the poor conscripts, especially in WW1, who were sent to the front with, it appears, little regard for their lives. I am not in any way questioning their bravery.
