To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Chinese soldiery, alarmed at this sudden appearance when they must have thought us dead, took precipitously to flight, and in their haste to escape so ex- posed themselves that we had no difficulty in rolling over a couple. As soon as they had retreated we re-occupied a little position slightly in advance of the house, and lay there contentedly munching biscuit and having a pull at the water bottles. It is extraordinary how callous you become. It was not until four or five o'clock in the af...ternoon that we were relieved, and then in a fashion that highly flattered our vanity. The little Japanese colonel ap- peared in person with a small force of riflemen and some stretcher bearers, and he fell back in astonishment when he saw our occupation. We had pushed forward a look- out a few yards in advance, and the rest of us were playing noughts and crosses on some broken tiles. In front of us the barricades v» era silent, and the Japanese sailor so curiously wounded in the earlier part of the day was fiercely wrangling with an English volunteer, who had taught him the game and had just insulted him by saying he was cheating.
