About this eBook

Author Cable, Boyd, 1878-1943
Title Between the Lines
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Between the Lines" by Boyd Cable is a war narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of soldiers during World War I, detailing life on the Western Front and the brutal realities of trench warfare. It aims to provide insight into the struggles faced by soldiers, highlighting their sacrifices and the stark contrasts between the grim truth of war and the sanitized accounts often reported back home. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the chaos and intense atmosphere of a frontline trench during battle. It vividly describes the sounds of warfare—cracking rifles, falling shells, and the cries of soldiers—as a lookout man strains to observe enemy movements amidst the chaos and mud. As he takes aim and fires from the parapet, the scene erupts into a savage melee, recounting the desperate fighting over territory as both sides suffer staggering losses. The passage captures not only the physical intensity of the combat but also the human emotions and experiences of the soldiers, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their lives in a world torn apart by war.
