You must be young. The saying is "there are no athiests in foxholes"

You are right, of course. It shows how little bellicose I am that I happilly conflated trenches and foxholes.

And whilst we usually consider it bad manners to point out typos etc on this board, "athiest" for "atheist" is one of my pet aversions, and I can only hope it was genuinely a printer's devil...(since you spoke of hot type...)
