Private Peaceful 13

I have really pursued my reading and am enjoying it greatly. Both thePeaceful  brothers have been sent to a military training area where Charlie has been straight away taken a disliking to from a mean sergeant by the name of Sergeant Hanely who's soul purpose in life was to torture or torment Charlie because he was the only one out of all the trainees who was not petrified of him. When the boys arrived at the training centre in Etaples they all have had an easy ride in life and were stuns by the appalling conditions in which they had to live in and the mentally swell as physically challenging program that was forced upon them. During their time at the training centre the boys learnt all different types of salute marches and how to hold a riffle shoot, aim, dig a trench and respect certain fundamental rules. However everyone felt as if they were acting out their rules as if it was dress rehearsal until one day when training the sounds of the guns were approaching which meant that soon dress rehearsal was over. The recruitment's left the training centre onboard a nauseating ship to France when arrival the boys had their first ever glance of the after effects of the war when passing a bunch of pale faced, tired and hopeless soldiers.While the story is happening Tommo tells us little flash backs of incidents that had happened and how Charlie got into such a big fight with Hanely because he was trying to work Tommo into the ground that Charlie got field punishment number 1 attached to a wheel and struck. This story amazed me because during the punishment Charlie remained so calm and he got himself into trouble to save his brother which shows no matter what Charlie did in the past that hurt Tommo he would sacrifice himself for his brother and that to me shows real love. I can't wait to continue reading and find out more about the Peaceful brothers adventures.
