The trench rats which swarm about are fed on cheese. ” What is perhaps surprising for the modern reader is the number of words and phrases that Smith felt the need to define but are now considered commonplace-aerial photography, armored car, bomb, camouflage, concussion, and crater-a testament to how much English comes from World War I.
