Being, it seems, forts of steel, borne upon wheels, but these wheels (being driven like wheels of motor-coaches) will run upon the roughest ground possible; whereby the tanks do jump, or fly, over ditches and trenches; and as they go, do fire broadsides, but no shot aimed at them can pierce their shells. So these tanks coming upon them like fiery dragons, and spitting on them hot lead, the Germans be thrown into the greatest alarm, and presently, our soldiers falling upon them with grenades and bayonets, such of them as be not slain that instant made prisoners. The most splendid thing I heard of in my life.' (Quote from page 121 diary entry: Sept. 18). ***A spoof diary of the 1914-18 Great War, parodying the style of the great Samuel Pepys. Satire. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
