Life in trenches before an attack
Wartime reminiscences mix vivid trench imagery with personal longing and fear. A Canadian sergeant's account, shared with a London paper, recalls the crawl of No Man's Land, the dread of going over the top, and the sense of impending doom as comrades fall and the shelling begins. The piece blends grim humor with stark mortality as it portrays the psychological toll of awaiting battle.
