What reading level is Battery Flashes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What with the terrible number of dead about here and the appalHng smell of chlorate of lime — supposed to deodorise the other — the food of twelve months' unbroken bully, bread, and jam, palls, and you cannot eat at regular intervals, but it is good to have something to chump just when you like and when you can get away from smells. The two aforementioned dodge one another along every trench, neither overcoming the other, but both not so much offending the nose as gripping you in the midriff wi...th a horrible continuous nausea. I am now sitting upon the top of our telephone dug-out in the trenches for air, but amply protected by the parapet in front, into which bullets keep cracking like the crack of a rifle, while others buzz, whine or flick over the top according to whether they are spent, ricochets or directs. I will try and describe these trenches, so different from, yet so alike to those before Messines ; but before that, will explain why I am here. The signallers have to spend four days in the trenches, four days back with the battery as signallers, three in the forward observing trench and one with the battery as gunners to keep our hand in ; so that the twelve men keep on chang- ing with one another in groups of three every four days.
