The work captures the experiences and observations of a lieutenant in the French cavalry during the tumultuous early stages of World War I, focusing on personal reflections rather than tactical analysis or grand battles. Dupont shares the raw and intimate emotions of soldiers as they navigate through both the chaos of war and the poignant moments of companionship and loss. At the start of the narrative, the lieutenant reflects on his journey to the front lines, detailing his impatience and excitement as he travels by train towards his regiment amidst the backdrop of military mobilization. He vividly describes the atmosphere of anticipation and anxiety among soldiers, the chaos at the concentration station, and the transformation of civilians' demeanor as war encroaches on their lives. This opening sets a profound tone as he prepares to confront the realities of battle, far from the romanticized notions of glory, and hints at the emotional and physical challenges he and his comrades will face as they step into the harsh realities of warfare.
