A very nice reversal of expectation of which one was performing which role this time. Crowley/Appleton (clever name)as the chaplain and so poignant that the demon is traumatized as well as loved by the men.
I have to confess I found the atmosphere in the trenches more reminiscent of WWI rather than the second WW and shares the tone of Crowley's devotion to the men there in an earthly hell with him with Daegaer's and Musegaarid's fine stories. But the point is it conveys such a hell vividly and with feeling. Makes it perfectly understandable why so many years later, the angel is still feeling guilty.
I love that he's so drunk he's finally opened up to his apologies in Tongues. I'm also jaw dropping impressed at your actually researching what he actually says to the point of including foreign character type to convey his switching languages!! Very novel and boggling care.
