"If the Hun is having a go you dont stop to watch but get into a dug out quick & lively. The sky is red with the flashes from the guns & the shells bursting light up the whole place, its quite fascinating. It's very nice to see lumps of timber, sheets of iron & heaps of earth flying up into the air."
