Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, but Major Watersey is not only such a soldier, he thinks more and more deeply, "How should we fight this battle? How can we protect the lives of our soldiers?" When encountering such a commander, the soldiers Blessed. Of course, people will die in war, and this immortal can't guarantee it, especially if this kind of lonely army goes deep into death, it will only survive nine deaths.

But meeting the commander who insisted on being with the soldiers like this gave the soldiers the instinct to resist desperately and persevered. If it is in the early or middle stage of the war, such persistence can only lead to the annihilation of the whole army. But this was the last battle of World War I, so when General Alexander and his colleagues at all levels believed that there was no survival, Major Watersey played a brilliant game and lived with his soldiers to wait for reinforcements.

The Lost Battalion quotes

  • Yoder: Hey, how come nobody ever calls me Bob?

    Cepheglia: Who's Bob?

    Rosen: He's Bob you dumb Dago. Haven't you ever heard of a first name?

    Cepheglia: Your first name is Private. You're gonna be Private all your life Rosen. You'll never make Corporal.

    Rosen: All I wanna make is civilian.

  • Maj. Whittlesey: Lieutenant Leak, fine officer, from Texas...

    Capt. McMurtry: We lost over 60 men to our own fire today. We heave less then 200 able troops left. I don't know how they keep doing it.

    Maj. Whittlesey: Don't sell them short, Captain. Two days ago we had a Chinese working our field-phone, an American-Indian for a runner; they're both dead now but that's not the point. These Italians, Irish, Jews, and Poles, they'd never hire me as an attorney; we wouldn't be seen at the same events. But we will never, in our lives, enjoy the company of finer soldiers or better men then we do tonight.

    Capt. McMurtry: Major, I was with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. And I have never served with a finer officer then you. Do you know that your men would do anything, go anywhere for you?

    Maj. Whittlesey: Thank you, George.
