After the attack, the Austria trenches were mostly empty. They had lost most men in the attack. Our officer walked to the front of the trenches and cleared his throat.

"Excuse me, everyone. I have important news" As he spoke, we would sit on barrels or boxes even on the bloody ground "The German Empire has been broken through! At Cambrai, the Hindenburg Line was broken through! This means that we will win and go home to our families!" Everyone cheered.

Except one.

He spoke up, "Officer, what about jobs after the War? And what of the Austrians and Bulgarians?"

Silence.

"Well that is the next telegram I got" the officer said. "Greek Company S will be sent to Skra-di-Legen to capture the Bulgarian position, why? Because they are the veterans they are Company Spartan!"

What he said was true. Company S has seen alot of action. We were nicknamed the Spartans.

I was in Company S. I looked into soldiers in my company, they stared rock solid, yet I could see the fear in their eyes.

One man came up to me.

"Hello Ajax, it's been a long time" the soldier said.

I lit up. It was my old friend, Nicholas. He had always been my childhood friend. He was in a different company than me.

"Nicholas! how has it been?" I asked.

"Other than the shell shock, smell and fighting, I've been pretty good" he said.

"Company S, pack up and go to the convoy waiting at the rear!" the officer said.

"Sir Yes Sir!" Company S shouted.

I packed up and Nicholas stood next to me and said, "It's said that heroes will be remembered through time, Ajax, do you think we will be remembered?"

I put my hand on my shoulder and said, "Nicholas, we will always be remembered, by our families, by our friends. History will talk about how the Greeks fought in Macedonia. How we defended Balkan democracy. How we gave our lives defending what we love."

Nicholas smiled and said "Well, Ajax, I only hope you make it"

"Ajax! Get over here! Onto the convoy! Go Go Go!" the officer shouted.

"Yes sir, good bye Nicholas" I ran toward the convoy. Nicholas went back to the frontline trenches.

The convoy started moving, I am going to Skra-di-Legen.
