Nine men go Over theTop in mud and rain and darkness, urged on by an Authority invisible and remorseless somewhere behind the lines, to seek a Foe they're destined never to encounter. The men are tough lads of the bombing squad, nine human individuals, living and real persons, a little world of diverse characters merged into a Unit for the purposes of this excursion into No Man's Land. One at a time they die, in terrible and futile ways. Still the bombing squad advances, floundering, towards the Foe, lost, hungry, over-exhausted; dully courageous, vague, stupefied: returning to the Brute .
