Nicknamed the father of wire, Alexander Calder, was a modernists, a realists, but overall, an artist.

At five-thirty a.m. the soldiers would go through the supplies, and they would sort out their rum rations. At six a.m. they would stand-to because it was a half away after daylight. Breakfast was around seven a.m., and the soldiers would eat bacon and tea. After eight a.m. they would clean up the trenches, clean their guns, and if the soldiers had…
