Night in the trenches keeps soldiers always on alert
London dispatch from March 1 1914 describes the brutal cadence of trench warfare in Europe. Night hours between sunset and darkness reveal eerie scenes of gunfire light and shadow. A lone French battery flashes Morse signals as rifles crack and machine guns gleam, while a wounded calm precedes dawn. The narrator recalls the strangest rituals of patrols, bayonets fixed, and a grisly sentinel known as The Juggler, the dead Frenchman laid in a grim, distant posture. The piece ends with the return of daylight and another cycle of danger and vigilance.
