Sand bags. Always filling sandbags. Finally distinguishing 'incoming' from 'outgoing'. Drinking to get drunk. That awful smell of mo-gas and s**t burning. The smell of cordite and damp canvas. A set of empty boots sitting in front of a company formation, the unrelenting sun burning down, the 'what ifs'. Time crawling by ever so slowly. Feeling the shock wave but not hearing the sound. The night. The night was the worse time of all.
Not in a good place today.
