THIRTY-SIX

A communal interlude

Once during one of the endless halts a discussion developed about the war’s origins, amongst a group of men who were taking the opportunity of a predicted sixty-minute stop to empty their bowels. Kingsley had never defecated in front of anyone before but the men he was travelling with—all experienced soldiers and comrades of old—thought no more about it than if they were pissing up against the same wall.

‘You needs a bit of time to take a shit,’ Kingsley’s companion advised him, ‘leastways you do on army rations. You need time to ‘ave a smoke and relax a bit, get things moving, so to speak. Time to let it drop comfortable and finish off neat. Nothing worse than hearing the whistle blow an’ having to pinch it off all in a hurry and ending up with an ‘orrible sore arse and flies buzzing round it. Good army tip that, mate, take it from a bloke who’s already long overdue a bullet. Look after your arse. Always make sure you’ve got time to do the right thing by your arse.
