Montauban Mud and Grit Endurance Under Fire
From Montaubun the writer recalls brutal mud filled trenches and waterlogged sap starting hours after dawn. Seven hundred men labored to clear the morass, sleeping in tents, soaked by cold rain. Men crawled through shellfire and clinging clay, frostbite and trench feet marking a grueling advance as they struggled to reach Montauban amid wrecked roads and frozen hardships.
