What reading level is The Amateur Army book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the division, the apparently limitless lines of men, horses, andguns crawled on the track of the fleeing enemy. As we stood there, held in check by the wagon, and as I looked back at the thousands ofsoldiers in the rear, I felt indeed that I was a minute mite amongstthe many. And then a second thought struck me. The whole mass of menaround me was a small thing in relation to the numbers engaged inthe great war. Even I, Rifleman Something or Another, No. So-and-so, bulked larger in the divi...sion as one of its units than the divisiondid in the war as a unit of the Allied Forces.
Even more interesting than divisional exercises is the mimicwarfare that is heralded by a notice in battalion orders such as thefollowing: "The battalion will take part in brigade exercise to-day. Ten rounds of blank ammunition and haversack rations will be carried. " At eight o'clock in the morning whistles were blown at the bottom ofthe street in which my company is billeted, and the soldiers, rubbingthe sleep from their eyes or munching the last mouthful of a hastybreakfast, came trooping out from the snug middle-class housesin which they are quartered.
