We see time pass in the colourless faces of the dying, we cram food in us, we run, we throw, we shoot, we kill, we lie about, we are feeble and spent, and nothing supports us but the knowledge that there are still feebler, still more spent, still more helpless ones there who, with staring eyes, look upon us as gods that escape death many times.” “A shell crashes. Almost immediately, 2 others. And then it begins in earnest. A bombardment. A machine gun rattles. Now there is nothing for it but to stay lying low. Apparently an attack is coming. Everywhere the rockets shoot up. Unceasing…I lie motionless; - somewhere something clanks, it stamps and stumbles nearer – all my nerves become taut and icy. It clatters over me and away, the first wave has passed. I have but this one shattering thought: What will you do if someone jumps into your shell-hole? – Swiftly, I pull out my little dagger, grasp it fast and bury it in my hand once again under the mud. If anyone jumps in here, I will go for him. It hammers in y forehead; at once, stab him clean through the throat, so that he cannot call out; that’s the only way; he will be just as frightened as I am; when in terror we fall upon one another, then I must be first.” Questions to get your creativity going! Think like a soldier in the trenches. *What do you do to keep from getting bored? *Your leg has a cramp, how can you get rid of it? *The soldier next to you has a cold and keeps sneezing and coughing. What can you do to protect yourself from getting sick too? *Your uniform is wet because you have been sitting in a puddle. What will you do to get more comfortable? *As you sit in the trench, what do you fear? What dangers do you face? How are you preparing yourself – both physically and mentally – to face those dangers?

“One lands behind us. Some recruits jump up terrified. A couple of minutes later another comes over, nearer this time… Then it begins in earnest. We crawl away as well as we can in our haste. The next lands fair amongst us. Two fellows cry out. Green rockets shoot up on the sky-line. Barrage. The mud flies high, fragments whiz past. The crack of the gun is heard long after the roar of the explosions…It’s got someone pretty badly. Cries are heard between the explosions. At last it grows quiet. The fire has lifted over us and is now dropping on the reserves. We risk a look. Red rockets shoot up to the sky. Apparently there is an attack coming. Where we are is still quiet. I sit up and shake the recruit by the shoulder. “All over, kid! It’s all right this time.”He looks around him dazedly. “You’ll get used to it soon,” I tell him. “The dull thud of the gas-shells mingles with the crashes of the light explosives. A bell sounds between the explosions, gongs, and metal clappers warning everyone – Gas – Gas – Gas. These first minutes with the mask decide between life and death: is it air tight? I remember the awful sights in the hospital: the gas patients who lay in day-long suffocation cough up their burnt lungs in clots. Cautiously, the mouth applied to the valve, I breathe. The gas still creeps over the ground…like a big, soft jelly-fish…Inside the gas-mask my head booms and roars- it is nigh bursting. My lungs are tight, they breathe always the same hot, used up air, the veins on my temples are swollen. I feel I am suffocating.” There has been constant shelling for 3 days, How does your head feel? What destruction do you expect to see around you the next morning? Do you expect to die? What do you think the enemy hopes to accomplish by this constant shelling? The gas mask makes you feel claustrophobic. What is that feeling like? What can you do to overcome the feeling? The soldier net to you dies. What are you going to do with the body? Your gas mask irritates the skin of your face and itches. What can you do to comfort yourself without exposing yourself to the poisonous gas? Read the passages below.
