Action Front by Boyd Cable

The present fictional novel ‘Action Front’ was written by one of the famous authors of his time Boyd Cable. It was first published in the year 1916. “The last conscious thought in the mind of Private Jock Macalister as he reached the German trench was to get down into it; his next conscious thought to get out of it. Up there on the level there were uncomfortably many bullets, and even as he leaped on the low parapet one of these struck the top of his forehead, ran deflecting over the crown of his head, and away. He dropped limp as a pole-axed bullock, slid and rolled helplessly down into the trench.” -an excerpt
