La Vie En Rose for 2005 December 6 (entry 1)

(2) Tue Dec 06 2005 17:06 PST 1928: “At the time, you see, the war was so ordinary—it was just our life. Yes, we hated it, and loved it, both. Loved it only because we gave so much to it, and because it was bound up with our youngness… It was our war, you see. And although it was so every-dayish at the time, and we were so sickened with it, it seems, now, to have a sort of ghastly glamour…Our hearts are there—unwillingly—for always. It was our war.”
Irene Rathbone, We That Were Young

Gotta ask...Was Ms Irene friends with Ms May Sinclair?

No... she was a lot younger, and wrote her books in the thirties. They are compared tho, actually in context of that passage, funnily enough.
