Key learning points: - ‘Propping Up The Line’ is a short story by Ian Beck written using a third person narrative voice. - Beck was inspired to write the story to “honour” his grandfather who was gassed in the trenches during World War One. - Gas attacks killed about three percent of people immediately. - There were long term physical and psychological effects for those who survived gas attacks. - Many people who write about World War One try to convey the horrors of gas attacks in their work.\n
