Although Eve Curie was fulsome in her praise of the fighting soldiers she met on the front, she had little respect for the civilians she met in Rangoon: “I felt, perhaps foolishly, that I could have taught them a lot about their own country; that just because I had been through the blitzkrieg in London, I knew England better now than they did themselves – I mean that England of ‘blood, sweat and tears’. When I passed near stiff civil servants sipping their gimlets in a club, when I talked with officers who still believed it was smart to wage a war as one would run a dull business and to speak of patriotism with their tongue in their cheeks, I felt like saying to every one of those men: ‘Hey, mister! Your clock has stopped, and you must put it right.’”
