Extracts from The
Middle Parts of Fortune
This is both novel and part personal experience - and is perhaps
the major effort in English to represent the experience of the
ordinary soldier during the First World War. It was
published under the name: Private 19022 until 1943. It was
actually written in two versions by Frederic Manning: The Middle Parts
of Fortune, and Her Privates We - the latter version
is the same, but with the soldiers' swearing replaced by
euphemisms.
Here, I've kept to the original, more authentic-sounding
version. |
