Buried Alive Twice in WWI Trench Ordeal
A 19 year old shop boy recounts being buried twice in hours during a WWI trench battle. He describes the artillery duel, gas clouds, and night bombardment as he lay in mud praying for rescue. Albert Glover dug him out, then a second shell buried him again before rescue. He recalls enemy actions, sympathy for foes, and the brutal survivability of war in No Man's Land.
