Originally published as The Diary of Artillery Scout. Text is clean and tight. 092715C "Horatio Rogers, ex-corporal of the American Expeditionary Force in the First World War, writes as a participant, not as an observor from a higher echelon of command. His world is that of horses, artillery shells, wet feet, heat, cold, mustard gas, and mud. He learns that one can sleep in a shellhole full of cold water, while fighting the urge to scratch at lice picked up from a previous nap on old straw in a ruined abbey."
