What reading level is Looking Back book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A signal was made to the ships in harbour to land a Naval Brigade for service at the front, the force to be ready to start in two hours' time. The officer of the morning watch took the signal to the Captain, who at once gave the necessary orders. By right of seniority I should have been selected, but when the Captain was informed that I had just turned in after night duty, he decided not to disturb me and sent a lieutenant who was my 116 Egypt in 1882 junior instead. When I appeared next mornin...g, about eight, I was told the news, and I fairly tore my hair out with vexation. I insisted on seeing the Captain, and he quite agreed that, without meaning any harm, he had treated me badly ; but no reparation was possible, for it was too late, the Naval Brigade being already some miles up the Canal in the tug that was convey- ing them. Philosophy does sometimes fail to bring comfort, and mine for the moment became a negligible quantity. 1 did succeed in getting up to Cairo a little later for a short time, after its occupation by the British troops, but in the days of one's youth it seemed a bitter disap- pointment not to have been at Tel-el-Kebir, and not to have marched into Cairo as part of the victorious army.
