...Roberts had joined the Royal Artillery in 1914 and since then had steadily risen to the rank of Gunner. Now the crunch: someone with a perverted sense of humour made him a Lance Bombardier. Roberts went insane with power. The war now consisted of two people, him and Hitler.

About This Quote

The title of this article is "Roberts had joined the Royal Artillery in 1914 and since then had steadily risen to the rank of Gunner. Now the crunch: someone with a perverted sense of humour made him a Lance Bombardier". From reading this article, I could tell that it was about someone named Roberts who enlisted with the army in 1914. He got promoted to Lance Bombardier sometime during World War 1, which was very impressive. The author also mentioned that Roberts went insane with power, which was pretty scary to imagine what he would do if he had all of the power in the world.
