Excerpt from The Test of Scarlet: A Romance of Reality
In the welter of darkness one can still make out the exact location of the enemy's front-line by the glow of his burning dug-outs. Our chaps set them on fire, standing in the doorways like avenging angels, and hurling down incendiary bombs as he tried to rush up the stairs. A horrid way to die, im prisoned underground in a raging furnace! Yet at this distance the destruction looks comfortable as the reection of many camp-fires about which companions sit and warm their hands. The only companions in those trenches now are Corrup tion and his old friend Death.
