Book Cover & Preview Text
I went out on what was going to be my last night patrol. I was told by the boss that he was not going to let me go on night patrols any more as I was needed in the trench as one of his senior N.C.O.’s he was not prepared to let me risk getting shot. I reluctantly agreed, I knew he was right. So this was my last patrol. I was in charge of five men, we were attempting to repair a field telephone in a forward observation post the communication lines had been blown up so we were trying to re connect them we were carrying wire and handsets.
