A. Bolwell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a personal narrative of the author's experiences during World War I, specifically focusing on the engagements of the 1st Division in which he fought. It presents a vivid portrayal of a soldier's life, detailing the transformation from civilian life to the battlefield and the emotional and physical toll of war. The opening of the narrative begins with the author, a reservist, eagerly welcomed back to service as war is declared in August 1914. His transition from a quiet domestic life to the chaos of military mobilization is marked by excitement and camaraderie as he joins fellow soldiers at various depots. Early depictions of journeys through crowded train stations, military preparations, and initial encounters with the French army set the tone for suspense and anticipation. As he embarks on the journey to France, the author reflects on his motivations, the harsh realities ahead, and the collective spirit of his fellow soldiers, foreshadowing the challenges they will face during the coming battles.
