| Summary | "Grapes of Wrath" by Boyd Cable is a war novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the experiences of British soldiers during World War I, specifically those from the 5/6 Service Battalion of the Stonewalls, as they prepare for and engage in battle. The book aims to capture the harrowing realities of war from the perspective of ordinary infantry privates, detailing their fears, camaraderie, and the brutal conditions they face. The opening of the novel sets the stage for an intense military campaign, with the soldiers on alert for the imminent "push." As the battalion moves towards the front lines, they are enveloped in the thunder of artillery and the chaos of battlefield rumors. Characters like Larry Arundel, Billy Simson, Ben Sneath (Pug), and Jefferson Lee (Kentucky) are introduced amidst the tension of their march and the noise of warfare. Their conversations reveal a mix of humor and dread as they navigate their uncertain fate, highlighting their friendships forged in the distressing environment. The narrative conveys both the physical and psychological strains of the impending combat, immersing the reader in the atmosphere of anticipation before the storm of battle descends.
