Description of war

Michael Sharra does a great job of describing the sounds of the War. Page 329 " He became aware for the first time of the incredible variety of sound"
- great roar like an orchestra of death
- an indescribable keening like old Death as a woman gone mad and a hunting you
- sounds of the bursts, flat splats, deeper bursts, brutal smash and crack of shot splattering dirt, whispers of rock fragments,
-sometimes even joy, screaming with joy at hitting something

It was like listening to a symphony of sounds as I imagined the battle taking place.
