--And the medical officer's closing words, "Madness! Madness!" are referenced in other anti-war films like "Apocolypse Now' ("The Horror. The Horror")

"The Horror...The Horror" is referenced from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, much like the whole plot of the film.
"He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision - he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath - "The horror! The Horror!"

  I should've done my due diligence.
  Nice book, btw, the Heart of Darkness. Like all Conrad's books, I guess.
