<quote>
1945   _Atlantic Mo._ CLXXVI [month unknown] 71: The sergeant folded the
Stars and Stripes. "Did you read this about 'the heroes of Bastogne'?" 
he
asked, accenting the phrase. "Somebody says we said, 'They got us
surrounded — the poor bastards.' "
<end quote>

I think a similar quotation is from Marshal Foch in the First World War.
