To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wind was now south-west, and was therefore not all that could be desired ; but this was the day when the bolt had to be loosed. About one hour later the stupefying gas and smoke were let off. It was misty already, but now a dense blackness settled down upon the country. The troops had their gas helmets on ready for the advance. But unfortunately the wind was treacherous on the northern section of the front and carried the gas and smoke past the German lines. Through this deadly mist of fume... and smoke came shells and bullets. The effect was hardly to be borne. At 6. 30 the moment came for the advance. The men made an odd picture as they swept forward into the gas and smoke with their helmets and gas-masks. Friend and foe could not see each other. The Germans had been under the terrible fire so long that the garrison of the front line were in an advanced stage of demoralisation. The parapets were being knocked to bits in front of them. Guns were hurled back into the trench and buried.
