Next to a battle lost, the saddest thing is a battle won

贏得一埸戰役的傷心程度僅比輸了一場戰役少一點。
或直譯
除了輸掉一埸戰役，最悲傷的事情是贏得一埸戰役。

意思是戰爭的本質就是互相廝殺，就算戰勝了陣亡的戰友也永不回來。

Hi,
This is a comment on the fundamental nature of war that even in victory, tragically, those lost in battle are still very dead. This statement is attributed to Wellington after his defeat of Napoleon.
