Dawn attack 0630 hrs. I should be a sleeping at that time!

Boom!!! Artillery fire rained on our objective (the enemy base). This was pathetically stimulated by our seargents throwing thunderflashes from the hill top. The last artillery fire echoed down the hill as the order to charge up was given. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! My voice sounded a bit hoarse or so I thought. Who cares? Friggin gradient of the hill and friggin irritating tall thorny grass blades. Thankfully the uniform is thick. After 8 'destroyed' bunkers, 7 'casualties' and much shouting form the sergeants and officers about how poor our fire and movement was, we finally captured 'Susan' (the code name of our objective). 7am. Never realised 30 minutes could be this long.
