All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/what-the-boys-did-by-henry-fox/
Personal accounts and recollections of soldiers coping with body lice, poisonous gas, rats, and death in the trenches during WWI. ( Jeffery Smith)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/47856
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

A lot of biology in there! Let me know if any changes are needed. I did shorten the filenames a bit as long ones lead to mistakes.

Thanks much, Dave. Yeah, nobody in the 19th century seemed to want a title that lacked a hint of what was going to be discussed and decided.

2 PL OK.

We can't use the double apostrophe in the MW ("). Instead we use two single apostrophes (''). As you can see they look very similar. The double apostrophe has a special meaning at Archive.org and causes problem when we send them our files. I changed the ones in the chapter two filename.

They look exactly the same! I had to look over and over again to figure out what you were saying. They shouldn't be in the notes or the chapter titles?
