"The Care of the Dead" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 20th century, particularly during the tumultuous years of World War I. The book discusses the efforts to care for and commemorate soldiers who died in battle, highlighting the need for proper burial practices and grave maintenance in wartime conditions. It focuses on the moral responsibilities involved in honoring the dead, particularly in light of the devastating loss experienced during the war. In this detailed narrative, the book chronicles the establishment and operations of the Graves Registration Units, which were tasked with the identification, burial, and maintenance of soldiers' graves. It paints vivid scenes of solemn funerals and the emotional weight carried by relatives of the deceased soldiers, while also illustrating the collaborative efforts between British and French forces in caring for their fallen comrades. The narrative emphasizes how important these acts of remembrance and care were not only for the families and friends of the deceased but also for the troops still fighting, providing them with a sense of closure and connection amidst the horrors of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 70.4 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
