The Great War As I Saw It

CHAPTER VIII
17/97

The roof had gone, and the moonlight flooded the ruins through the broken Gothic windows.

To the left, ploughed up with shells, were the tombs of the civilian cemetery, and the whole place was ghostly and uncanny.
Near the huts, on the hill at Bulford Camp was a hollow in the ground which made a natural amphitheatre.

Before us, at the end of the hollow, the performers would appear, and overhead the calm stars looked down.

I always went to these entertainments well provided with Players' cigarettes.
