Night in a Front Line Trench on the Western Front
The narrator recalls a brutal night in a front line trench. Rain, cold, and mud gave way to a deadly mortar blast that killed three men and wounded others, followed by a rebuilding effort and a warning about trench discipline and orders. A sentry is punished for failing to relay a warning, illustrating the trench code and risks of No Man's Land.
