'There has been a lot of fighting hereabouts.

The parapet of a trench which we don't occupy is built up with ammunition boxes and corpses . . .'

He describes life in the trenches in vivid, raw detail, how the dehumanizing horrors he witnessed left him shell-shocked. They were to haunt him for the rest of his life.
