“In the year 1916 in the world's war there were twelve soldiers...”
In the year 1916 in the world's war there were twelve soldiers hiding on the Blackstairs mountain. They gathered a heap of flags, and made a hole in the ground, and shaped it like a house. They covered it with the flags, and made a kind of a cave in which they hid. They got safe for three months, but one day an aeroplane flew over them, and a shell fell and blew up the cave and the twelve men were killed. A few days later, some men found some parts of their bodies and buried them.- Collector
