What reading level is The Tank in Action book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Spuds were alwaj^s carried in the box on the roof until the last possible moment, as any hard surface, such as that of a road, crushed them and put a dangerous strain on the hard steel track-plates. Each tank carried forty-four of these iron shoes, of which we had to clamp on about thirty that night at Frascati — a laborious process with stiff nuts and bolts, and an inadequate supply of spanners. My crew and I were able to fix only half of our quota in the time, and the remainder we flung into ...a ditch under the bushes, where for all I know they lie to this day, unless they have been dis- covered by some puzzled Belgian labourer.
At 10. 45 ^•ll engines were started up, and at 11 o'clock we moved off. One tank of 19 Company developed some internal trouble and was left behind. The trek for a long time was devoid of any incident. The Reconnaissance officers led : my section was now the last in the line ; and I simply followed the tank in front of me. I can remember nothing that happened until we reached Hammond's Corner, a road junction near Hill Top Farm and about a thousand yards from the front line.
