What reading level is Fifty Years of My Life in the World of Sport At Home And Abroad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Poor Horace Oust was killed ; he had his thigh broken by a round-shot, and died from exhaustion after amputation.
The Coldstreams did not suffer near so much as w^e did, through not being in front of the battery.' I now quote a few lines from Sergeant Feist's diary : — ' The coloiu^s (Queen's) were carried by Lieutenant R. Lindsay, and the regimental by Lieutenant A. H. Thistlethwaite, both officers escaping without a scratch. The Queen's colour had ticeidy-four shot-holes, and the pole shot ...asunder about the centre and again at the lower end. The regimental colour had no shot-holes. The sergeants with the colours were McKechnie, slightly wounded ; Nicholas Lane, killed ; Boyce, unhurt ; and A. McLeod, shot through the arm, of which wound he died a month after. It may here be remarked that Sergeant J. Lane — Pay-Sergeant, 4th Company, and whose place in the line w^as next the colours — was also killed within a few yards of his brother Nicholas. This Sergeant J. Lane left his wife at Varna (ill), and she died about the same time, and neither knew of the other's death.' To quote from my letters once more : ^ ' Bob Lindsay (now Lord Wantage) I look upon as the luckiest and pluckiest of our lot, for, though the colour he carried was riddled, he was untouched, and of those who were near him and best able to judge, all said that he displayed conspicuous bravery, and we were all pleased when he was awarded the Victoria Cross.
