Sentence meaning
Hi!
Recently I came a cross a sentence like this: I admit the woman drudges in the home, as a man might drudge at the Cathedral of Amiens or drudge behind a gun at Trafalgar.
I am wondering, whether behind a gun means more or less "carrying a gun". And whether Trafalgar stands here for the Trafalgar Square?
Could anyone help?
