What reading level is The American Red Cross in the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Wulveringhem the work on the splendid new hospital with its wide range of barrack wards was lagging for lack of means, but the Red Cross gift hurried it to usefulness. When it was finished the plant and the patients from La Panne were moved there and, once more, the Belgian Army doctors could operate without the per- petual interference of German shells.
It was a needy army, in those days, that Belgian Army which helped the EngUsh to hold the Channel front, and it lived the life of a hunted ...animal! There were the abris and dugouts in the first line, wet and overcrowded ; on the second line, about seven or eight miles back, some shelters and ruined buildings ; and in the rear some new brick barracks where at intervals good Belgian soldiers went when they did not die. When they did die — and their casualty roll mounted into the thousands each month — there was the endless graveyard near at hand. It was a somber place, all in all. "It is not the bombs that we are afraid of," said a Belgian soldier, who had once been an attacM of the Rocke- feller Foundation, — "it is not the bombs, or even the shell when they have the location of our quarters ; it is the bitter cold and the wet feet, and no place to go." BELGIUM 199 Indeed, they had no place to go.
