Trying to remember the name of a book - clues inside

Read it when I was a kid
All I can remember is that it was set in WWI or WWII and the main character was a dreamer, constantly lost in his thoughts. At the end book, he is in a foxhole (iirc) and started daydreaming (about a bird I think) and then ended up getting shot in the head
Anybody know the name of this book?

All quiet onnthe westerne front would be my guess.
He liked to daydream about home..
Shot and killed after the armistice.
Side note the book, Generals Die In Bed, and is set from a Canadians viewpoint. Great book. My brother recommended. Well done.

Are you thinking of the scene with the butterfly? He reaches toward it and gets shot by a French sniper.

All Quiet on the Western Front.
Edit: LCA beat me to it!
Also, WWI, not WWII....
OP, there is also a 1970's movie about this, and it stars Earnest Borgnine (sp?) and Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton).
Not a bad movie if you can find it.
The book is a good thought provoking read.

Sergeant York
Alvin Cullum York (December 13, 1887 – September 2, 1964), also known as Sergeant York, was one of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of World War I.[1] He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathered 35 machine guns, killing at least 25[2] enemy soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners.

What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when he hits your windshield?
