Paperback, [EAN: 9781331834489], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from 'D' Company and Black 'Ell: Two Plays'D' Company was written towards the close of 1914, while I was a private in a Territorial battalion at Malta.It is, in one sense, real: there is scarcely a sentence in it that I did not hear, or an episode I did not witness.It is, in another sense, unreal: it is impossible, even for the purposes of realism, to set down here in print the actual language of my barrack-room. The three or four unpleasant words that occurred extraordinarily often and in the queerest series of combinations and connections, not only created a certain atmosphere of ugliness that would be necessary for any really true picture of life then, but also supplied a sort of lilt to the conversation that cannot be reproduced without them.I should like to add here that while those months were, I think, the unhappiest I have lived through, I have the very liveliest memories of much from my companions and friends of 'D' Company, for which I feel I can never be sufficiently grateful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
