Clamber Up the Crucifix
T0964269018
We begin at the end- midday, 11th November 1918. To the officers, Parker was invisible, hardly more human than the telegraph key he operates. Earlier that day, and privy to certain information, Parker had caused serious offence. His sentence is due, footsteps approach.
Clamber Up the Crucifix explores the life of a telegraph key operator in the trenches and the mind of an ordinary soldier caught up in the long waits and terrifying bombardments of life at the Front. A gritty and emotional reminder of what life was like for millions of young men a century ago.
