What reading level is The Glory of the Trenches; An Interpretation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was perhaps more ignorant than most people about things mihtary. I had not the shghtest knowl- edge as to the functions of the different arms of the service; infantry, artillery, engineers, A. S.
C. — they all connoted just as much and as little. I had no qualifications. I had never handled fire-arms. My solitary useful accom- plishment was that I could ride a horse. It seemed to me that no man ever was less fitted for the profession of killing. I was painfully con- scious of self-ridicule wh...enever I offered myself for the job. I offered myself several times and in different quarters ; when at last I was granted a commission in the Canadian Field Artillery it was by pure good-fortune. I didn't even know what guns were used and, if informed, shouldn't have had the least idea what an eighteen-pounder was. Nevertheless, within seven months I was out in France, taking part in an offensive which, up to that time, was the most ambitious of the entire war.
From New York I went to Kingston in Ontario to present myself for training; an of- ficers' class had just started, in which I had been ordered to enrol myself.
