What reading level is A Soldiers Memories in Peace And War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed, one Officer who though originally ordered to Egypt, had never left Rawal Pindi in India, got two medals, two Orders, and a brevet ! Naturally he returned these, but that was the spirit of the new era.
This profusion led incidentally to a somewhat serious riot at Gibraltar, where there were stationed together two regiments, one of which was covered with Egyptian medals, earned on board ship in Alexandria harbour, a hundred miles from any fighting, whilst the other had none.
One night int...o the canteen of the be-medalled regiment came a full private of the non-medalled regiment.
Tapping the counter smartly, he, in a loud and commanding voice, ordered : " Here, barman ! A pint of 'arf and 'arf. Egyptian Medals an' Stars. " " Belts off and give 'im 'ell, " shouted someone.
So off came the belts, which were used in those days as a very hefty offensive weapon in a street row, and the battle began. From small beginnings it grew to greater, till at last the best part of the two regiments were engaged in deadly strife over that pint of 'arf and 'arf.
