What reading level is The Scene of War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are bright and incandescent; they shine in the darkness 144 THE SCENE OF WAR with a sudden glow as though some part of his own soul had gone out with that shell upon its way.
Then he takes me across to his place of habi- tation the little wooden hut in which he has spent the last eight months of his life. It is as simple as the chamber of a nun. There is his little bedroom, with just enough of space for a camp - bed, a small writing - table, some racks upon the wall. The nose of an Austria...n 305 serves to keep the door ajar. An atlas he used at school lies torn into ribbons by the fragment of a shell ; the wooden walls are pitted with little holes. Life is not very safe for him even here.
In the battery canteen adjoining there is a yet more remarkable sight. It is a copper bucket perforated with holes, and it was in this bucket that a man was weighing out a charge of ballistite when a shell from the enemy exploded and riddled it like a sieve. The big gun itself was not exempt. I see in it a deep dent as though it had been made by a steel axe, and several small wounds, as one might say, in the barrel, made by the square ingots that burst out of an Austrian shell.
