EXTRACT FROM 'PRIVATE PEACEFUL'
By Michael Morpurgo
We we’re lulled by the blue skie’s perhaps, or by sheer boredom. Fritz seemed to
have gone to sleep on us and as far as we were concerned that suited us fne. We
thought we could go to sleep to. The awakening came sudenly. "Gas! Gas!

The cry goes up and is echoed all along the trench. for a moment we are frozen
with panic. We have trained for this time and again but nonetheless we fumble
clumsily feverishly with our gas masks.

"Fix bayonets! Hanleys yelling while were still trying frantically to pull on our gas
masks. We grab our rifles and fx bayonets. We're on the frestep looking out into
no-man's-land, and we see it rolling towards us, this dreaded killer cloud we have
heard so much about but have never seen for ourselves until now. It’s deadly
tendrils are searching ahead, feeling there way forward in long yellow wisps,
scenting me, searching for me. Then fnding me out, the gas turns and drifts
straight for me. I'm shouting inside my gas mask. "Christ! christ!" Still the gas
comes on, through our wire, swallowing everything in its path
