Private Peaceful 14

The soldiers are leaving to the front and even if that means a greater risk of death, they are relived to leave the wicked sergeant Hanely and Etaples. Sining has always been a huge part of this book and we noticed that it occurs in happiness in sad times but most of all to reconcile feelings and as the boys are going to the front and walking past all the bombed houses and hospitals they are singing. Their new captain who is sweet and kind and treats them right how charlie puts it, has told the soldiers that they are going to an area where it has been quiet for a while.  They arrive in a village called Poperinghe and their is a pub their where everyone goes to drink the best beer and a good portion of egg and chips. As Tommo is enjoying is relaxing beginning at the pub he states "We're like camels filling up at an oasis that we've discovered by accident and may never find again" I believe Tommo is saying that they are Yoloing it meaning you only live once and that they are enjoying the moment as they know that between now and a matter of days or shorter than not everyone will be returning back to the pub.  Their is a girl in the pub with a sweet smile and I can already forecast that something is going to happen between Tommo and her.. In the next couple of pages The brothers go up into the line and from that moment on start experiencing the war whether is the crackle ahead of them or whether its machine guns every soldier began feeling the long road they are about to confront a road filled with miry and one where everyone is petrified. I have nearly finished the book I have around 5 more pages but I will blog up the rest in a summary and than I will write a conclusion to the book and how I have enjoyed reading it.
