    About this ebook

    "The Silence of Colonel Bramble" by André Maurois is a very funny novella. The story is set in the trenches and reveals the author's memories of the First World War. Maurois plays the role of Aurelle, who is the French interpreter. Aurelle uses his poems to intersperse his reminiscences. He finds the British very hard to make out! The book is not a war memoir but about British people, their way of thinking, and their culture in a fun manner.
