What reading level is Temporary Heroes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. C. Man told me. One day business took him thirty odd miles into the back of the front, where he found himself in a stronghold of one of the non-combatant corps of the army — their name is legion. Talking to one of the temporary inhabitants he was unwise enough to remark that they seemed to have a nice safe spot to live in. Immense indignation and a half-mile walk, until a small hole in the ground was reached.
" See that ? " " Yes. " 132 TEMPORARY HEROES " That's where we were bombed last Jun...e. " So perhaps we aren't the only people to run awful risks.
The frozen roads of yesterday are the quagmires of to-day, and where, last night, three lorries passed each other in comfort, one now tarries, mudded in up to the axles. In this war General Mud plays the part which used to be ascribed to General Janvier. You can't have any idea what it's like in the trenches, one moment everything fairly dry, the men cheerful, and the pros- pect of winning the war by 1920 quite in the picture. Then the rain starts, and from under their waterproof sheets the men look out at you as miserable as a collection of drowning rats, their feet splashing about in watery mud.
