| Summary | "Battlewrack" by F. Britten Austin is a collection of military-themed narratives written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into the experiences of soldiers during wartime, focusing on their struggles with conflict, camaraderie, and the psychological impact of battle. This collection includes tales like "The Battery," "Pro Patria," and "Nerves!" which vividly illustrate the challenges faced by men in the heat of war. The beginning of the collection introduces us to the story "The Battery," where we meet a junior subaltern who wrestles with his overwhelming nerves as he approaches the battlefield. As the artillery brigade prepares for action amidst a foggy morning, he grapples with anxiety over his performance and the realities of war that loom ahead. The air vibrates with ominous artillery sounds, creating an unsettling atmosphere as the brigade waits for orders while the conflict unfolds. With a mix of excitement and dread, the subaltern's journey into the chaos of battle begins, highlighting the tension and urgency that characterize the experiences of soldiers during wartime.
