What reading level is My Year of the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is this something you do not see, this something the imagination vis- ualises, that convinces you that you ought to be con- siderate enough of posterity to write the real descrip- tion of a trench. Look for an hour at that wall of sandbags and your imagination sees more and more, while your eye sees only sandbags. What does this war mean to you ? There it is ; only you can describe what this war means to you.
Many a soldier who has spent months in trenches has not seen a German. I boast that... I have seen real Germans through my glasses. They were walking along a road back of their trenches. It was most fascinating. All the Germans I had ever seen in Ger- many were not half so interesting. I strained my eyes watching those wonderful beings as I might at the first visiting party from Mars to earth. There must have been at least ten out of the Kaiser's mil- lions.
In summer that wood had become a sylvan bower, or a pastoral paradise, or a leafy nook, as you please.
The sun played through the branches in a patchwork; flowers bloomed on the dirt roofs of the shanties, and a swallow had a nest — famous swallow!
