it’s common practice among men at war to keep one round secreted some place to avoid capture if the enemy is known to be particularly barbaric.

No it's not because if you're captured, they take your gun...........LOL!

If you think you're right, I'd like to be corrected. Maybe you can furnish a link.............

Finally, there's a famous poem called "The Young British Soldier" by some guy named Rudyard Kipling.

Perhaps you've heard of him?
