Tomorrow 7 - the Other Side of Dawn
“I guess because it wasn’t a troop train. There were passenger carriages way up ahead, but at least a couple of dozen goods trucks between me and them, and I couldn’t see any soldiers on the passenger ones anyway.I landed pretty heavily. The train was grunting away at a slow pace, but it was quite a drop from the bridge, and there wasn’t much to break my fall. Just a layer of coal about thirty centimetres deep. I dropped vertically but at the last second twisted sideways, and put a hand out, mai...nly trying to save my bad knee. In point of actual fact, as Dad says sometimes when he’s trying to be funny, I don’t think there was any brilliant way I could have landed. I didn’t do much damage. Just a heap more bruises and aches and pains to add to the ones I’d already collected in this war.

If anyone had seen me from the bridge they’d be firing at me right now.MoreLess
