Floyd ] About this Game Floyd | The game is based on my studies of World War I. For history buffs, Floyd | I've changed a few things to suit the game to make it more exciting. Floyd | War is war and some of the language may offend some people, plus it's Floyd | definitely not PC! For the competition, I have made it somewhat easier Floyd | to get through to comply with the Comp rules. When it goes up on the Floyd | archive, it will be much harder with Release 2. Some of the names were Floyd | loosely taken from Frederick Manning's "The Middle Parts of Fortune" I Floyd | have deliberately miss-spelled some of them, so as not to infringe Floyd | copyright. Floyd | Floyd | I make no money out of this game, since I just want other text Floyd | adventure players to enjoy the game and also to get a little taste of Floyd | what war was like back then. If you enjoy this game, you might like to Floyd | try my much harder game on the archive "Genesis Quest" . Also, Floyd | to learn about the life of someone who's deaf and blind, read Floyd | "Touch Me Please" available on Kindle. Floyd | Floyd | I would welcome sensible comments on the game, plus if anyone's really Floyd | stuck, mail me also. See the credits and about the author for more Floyd | details.

Floyd ] Inside the Lorry Rank: Corporal Floyd | : Floyd | > X HELMET Floyd | Floyd | The first delivery of a protective steel helmet (AKA Brodie Floyd | helmet) to the British Army was in 1915. Initially there were far from Floyd | enough helmets to equip every man, so they were designated as "trench Floyd | stores, to be kept in the front line and used by each unit that Floyd | occupied the sector. It was not until the summer of 1916, when the Floyd | first 1 million helmets had been produced, that they could be Floyd | generally issued. Floyd | Floyd | The Brodie helmet reduced casualties but was criticized by General Floyd | Herbert Plumer on the grounds that it was too shallow, too reflective, Floyd | its rim was too sharp, and its lining was too slippery. These Floyd | criticisms were addressed in the Mark I model helmet of 1916 which had Floyd | a separate folded rim, a two-part liner, and matte khaki paint Floyd | finished with sand, sawdust, or crushed cork to give a dull, Floyd | non-reflective appearance.

Floyd | He's a hard-faced bugger. In battle, as gentle as a lamb, but out of

Floyd | superior officers, who was one of those privileged types. All talk and
Floyd | no knowledge. Some men were killed because of that officer's lack of
