Current Search - trucks in A Farewell to Arms
1 There was a steep new road and many trucks.
2 We did not see any troops; only abandoned trucks and stores.
3 Several hours later I heard the truck ahead of us grinding into gear.
4 As I looked out at the garden I heard a motor truck starting on the road.
5 There was a long line of abandoned trucks and carts on the road leading up to the bridge.
6 As we came up the street they were loading the girls from the soldiers' whorehouse into a truck.
7 I got out and walked ahead, going between the trucks and carts and under the wet necks of the horses.
8 There were many trucks too and some carts going through on other streets and converging on the main road.
9 All that was needed was for a few men to leave their trucks or a few horses be killed to tie up completely the movement on the road.
10 When we were out past the tanneries onto the main road the troops, the motor trucks, the horse-drawn carts and the guns were in one wide slow-moving column.
11 The system was to bring everything down the new road and take the empty trucks, carts and loaded ambulances and all returning traffic up the old narrow road.
12 We moved slowly but steadily in the rain, the radiator cap of our car almost against the tailboard of a truck that was loaded high, the load covered with wet canvas.
13 In the night, going slowly along the crowded roads we passed troops marching under the rain, guns, horses pulling wagons, mules, motor trucks, all moving away from the front.
14 There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men, and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic.
