To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Over each man's heart is placed an envelope. At the sign of command the firing parties, twelve to each, align their rifles on the envelopes. The officer in charge holds his slick aloft and as it falls thirty-six bullets usher the souls of three Kitchener's men to the great unknown. As a military prisoner I helped clear the traces of that triple murder. I took the posts down . .. I helped carry those bodies towards their last resting place; I collected all the blood-soaked straw and burnt it. Ac...ting upon police instructions I took all their belongings from the dead men's tunics (discarded before being shot). A few letters, a pipe, some fags, a photo. I could tell you of the silence of the military police after reading one letter from a little girl to Dear Daddy, ' of the blood- stained snow that horrified the French peasants; of the chaplain's con- fession that braver men he had never met than those three men he prayed with just before the fatal dawn . .. I could take you to the graves of the murdered.
