#1914 misery street full
We came up here Thursday evening, a foggy, moonlit night, bright enough to show the fields through which we ascended, spattered with shell-holes as thick as mole-hills, and the pine woods full of shattered trunks and broken branches.It is impossible to cross the open spaces in daylight, so that we can only get food by going to the kitchens before dawn and after sundown.

How did Buchalski describe his experience of war? Why was he excited before arriving? Explain.ġ2. To want to fight and not even to be able to defend oneself!

Letter of Alfred Buchalski, 23, Killed 10 November 1914 28 October 1914: With what joy, with what enthusiasm I went to war, which seemed to me a splendid opportunity for working off all the natural craving of youth for excitement and experience! In what bitter disappointment.How shall I properly describe to you the experiences of the last few days?.It was ghastly! Not the actual shedding of blood, or that it was shed in vain, nor the fact that in the darkness our own comrades were firing at us-no but the whole way in which a battle is fought is so revolting.
