How does this excerpt relate to what you know about the “lost generation”

The "Lost Generation" refers to a group of writers who became of age in the 1920's. As Erik Maria Remarke states in this excerpt even though they escaped death they were destroyed by war. They no longer believed in values like patriotism and courage in the post war world; this resulted in lack of purpose and drive for those who survived.
