What reading level is Campaign Diary of a French Officer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So I had to set out 66 IN THE SECOND LINE again. I went to rouse my men. They grum- bled a little, but obeyed philosophically, buckling on their equipment and folding their blankets. At nine o'clock we set out to trav- erse in the opposite direction the ground we had come over in the morning: trench, road, trench, village, trench, mud, and again mud.
It was impossible to maintain distances. One section got lost and had to turn back; then troops were met coming the other way, the ditch was narro...w, and it was slow work squeezing through.
Order was once more established as we came near our goal. The night was full of the uproar of a battle. Machine guns were emitting in the distance the regular cKck of a sewing- machine, while the little guns sounded like the sputtering of fish in a frying-pan. A few bullets whizzed by. I heard one of the men say, in his utter weariness, ''I hope one of those bullets is for me." I chided him mildly, but it was exhaustion that wrung this cry from him, for the day before at the moment of the attack he had fought with the bravest.
