There's some really interesting stuff in his biography[1] about his experiences in war. Including this poem:

""" Thy name is on our foes’ lips and on ours, Strong in thy name we break and burn and slay. And Thy priests tell us in our dying hours That ’tis Thy will, and bid its victims pray. From this dark pit of desolation Full of black smoke and shattered limbs of men Buried in the mud of their damnation We curse Thee God, and swear that not again... """
