Away from the front
Is this sentence correct:
"I liked Italy - away from the front - particularly the peasants and the working people."
Is 'away from the front' an idiom?
And what does it mean?
Top answer
In the context of a war, the Front refers to the battle front, ie the place where the two sides meet and fight. If you are away from the fron t, you are not at the place where fighting is happening. It's not really an idiom.
