  1. But I was sure he was dead. My legs felt warm and wet and my shoes were warm and wet inside. I touched my knee but it wasn't there. 12:29 AM Apr 5th from web
  2. I tried to move but I could not move my legs. I pulled myself with my arms and elbows and tried to put a tourniquet around Passini's leg. 12:28 AM Apr 5th from web
  3. One of his legs was gone and the other was barely connected to his body. He screamed "Oh Jesus shoot me Christ shoot me". Then he was quiet. 12:27 AM Apr 5th from web
  4. The ground was torn up around my head. I tried to move but I could not. I heard someone close to me screaming. It was Passini. 12:26 AM Apr 5th from web
  5. I tried to breathe by I couldn't and I felt myself leave my body, and I knew I was dead, but then I felt myself slide back. 12:25 AM Apr 5th from web
  6. Then there was a flash, as when a blast furnace door is swung open, and a roar that started white and went red, then a rushing wind. 12:24 AM Apr 5th from web
  7. We kept on eating. Then there was a cough, a noise like a railway engine starting and then an explosion that shook the earth again. 12:22 AM Apr 5th from web
  8. The guns started firing shells at the Austrians. I ran across the brickyard, back to the drivers. We started to eat. 12:21 AM Apr 5th from web

  10. Some of the other drivers said it would be no good to leave the war while it was on. The army would come after you and your family. 12:17 AM Apr 5th from web
  11. Most of the drivers were against the war. One of the drivers, Passini, said it would be better to lose and end the war and go home. 12:15 AM Apr 5th from web
  12. I met the major and had a drink with him. He said the attack would start as soon as it got dark. Then I went back to the drivers. 12:12 AM Apr 5th from web

  16. We were told that there is going to be an attack tonight and we had to go to the front. Before we left I stopped by the hospital. 8:09 AM Mar 30th from web
