What reading level is The Defence of Duffer's Drift book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eventually I collected the following lessons: 11. For a small isolated post and an active enemy, there are no_flanks_, no _rear_, or, to put it otherwise, it is _front all round_.
12. Beware of being taken in _reverse_; take care, when placing andmaking your defences, that when you are engaged in shooting the enemyto the front of your trench, his pal cannot sneak up and shoot you inthe back.
13. Beware of being _enfiladed_. It is nasty from one flank--far worsefrom both flanks.
Remember, also, ...that though you may arrange matters so that you cannotbe enfiladed by rifle-fire, yet you may be open to it from long range, by means of gun or pompom fire. There are few straight trenches thatcannot be enfiladed from somewhere, if the enemy can only get there. You can sometimes prevent being enfiladed by so placing your trenchthat no one can get into prolongation of it to fire down it, or youcan "wiggle" it about in many ways, so that it is not straight, ormake "traverses" across it, or dig separate trenches for every two orthree men.
