MEN LAUGH AND SHOUT I mean, you took part in everything
because you had to fill your time in, you know. Otherwise all you did
was sit about and smoke. CHILDREN LAUGH The only time we saw the artillery
was when we was out of rest. Fire! They would be, say,
two miles behind the line. Fire! We wanted to neutralise enemy
batteries, so we were registering our batteries on his.
Fire! We used to know the line
and elevation because it was done by aircraft. It was pretty ghastly, but the idea
was to kill as many German gunners as you could. Ready! Fire!
