Red Night
T1875875427
The classic
Journey s End shows men under the pressure of battle and trench life.
Red Night is a story of soldiers, too, but this time, not officers but the privates and other ranks - men who left their homes to face appalling hardship and the everyday danger of death on the Western Front, but who were not able to deaden their pain with bottles of whisky. And yet, under fire or snatching brief moments of relaxation, the phlegmatic humour of men getting through it all breaks through.
