E. W. (Charles Edwin Woodrow) 1879 1968 Bean, Charles Edwin Woodrow 17029760 Letters from France E-text prepared by Elaine Walker, Paul Ereaut, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Letters from France" by C. E. W. Bean is a collection of war correspondence written during World War I. The text reflects the experiences and observations of the Australian Imperial Force as they engage in the events surrounding the war in France, particularly the battles around Fromelles and the Somme. This work serves as a firsthand account of the soldiers' lives, the landscapes they fought in, and the camaraderie among troops amidst the brutal realities of warfare. The opening of the book introduces Bean's reflections as he travels to France with Australian soldiers, setting the tone for a deeply personal narrative. He describes a poignant scene on the ship where a military padre addresses the troops, instilling a sense of purpose and belief in their mission against German aggression. Arriving in France, Bean's letters detail the contrasting beauty of the countryside with the looming danger of war, as he notes the ordinary lives of the French people alongside the omnipresent threat of artillery and sniper fire. Through rich descriptions and intimate moments, he captures the spirit of the soldiers and their determination to fight for a greater cause, painting a vivid picture of life at the front.
