In my final year at Bristol University, I wrote a play called 'White Feathers.' It was produced in the studio theatre at the students' union in early 1999, when I was 21. It's 100 pages long: a very traditional play, with an interval, about deserters in the First World War.

British Playwright

Christiaan Rudolf de Wet

These deserters were our undoing. I shall have a good deal more to say about them before I finally lay down my pen, and I shall not hesitate to call them by their true name, the name with which they will be for ever branded before all the nations of the world.

South African Politician

Heinrich Boll

On a visit to Cologne in March 1945, after a heavy bombing, I met hundreds and hundreds of deserters who were squatting in the rubble, many in the deep cellars left from Roman times. They had been hiding there after the retreat from France.

German Writer

Jean Giraudoux

The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.

French Dramatist

Wil S. Hylton

During the Vietnam era, more than 30,000 draft dodgers and deserters sought harbor in cities like Montreal and Toronto, where public opposition to the war was strong and most residents didn't question their motives.

American Journalist

Paul Watson

The environmental movement doesn't have many deserters and has a high level of recruitment. Eventually, there will be open war.

Canadian Environmentalist

Jose Marti

He who could have been a torch and stoops to being a pair of jaws is a deserter.

Cuban Activist

Most often used regarding military service or during war to imply abandoning duty.

Military Context

Carries a negative judgment, suggesting cowardice or disloyalty.

Negative Connotation

Implies leaving without permission, different from being officially discharged.

Unauthorized Leave

 Anything in between was no man's land. You entered no man's land. You were shot. You were killed. You tried to leave the trench in the other direction. Then your own side would shoot you because you were a deserter.
