A Bombing Post in the Snow, 1918, John Nash (Artworks)Tuesday August 24th (2021)
"I spent last night with three of my men in an advanced post - a perfectly uncovered shell hole ... there is a chance of being in the front line tonight and for Xmas Day ... we are 700 yards in advance of our coy ... Coming out we passed a Boche officer dead on the road, frozen over sparkling ... nothing unusual for we were just as crystallised, only living - I heard partridges chirping early this morning between crackling bursts of machine gun fire" Send a comment
