What reading level is American Engineers Behind the Battle Lines in France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Go out and find it, " seems to be the motto. It recovers rail for its own trackage, and often must build its oviTi cars out of the old trucks and timber brought in from the field. While most of the material from the field is delivered to the salvage dump by the light railways, some comes in by lorries. The dump itself is arranged for lorry delivery on one side, and light-railway delivery on the other. Material is all classified at the dump. Here one sees a pile of duck-boards, there a mound of... wire, then some piles of shell cases, railroad ties, rails, etc. Through the middle of the dump a standard-gage railroad line runs for delivery to bases in the rear, where the material is put in serviceable condition for further use.
In the old days nobody paid much attention to the possibilities of salvage, and for a good reason; there was no way to recover material quickly and — the im- portant point — with a low expenditure of man power.
This condition light railways have changed. Into crater- marked regions where highway building would be a long and tedious operation, light railways can be ex- tended without much trouble.
