The book recounts the author's experiences as a soldier in the 22nd Regiment of Dragoons during World War I, particularly focusing on the events from mobilization to the early battles in Belgium and France. Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, it aims to convey the emotional and physical challenges faced by soldiers during this tumultuous period. The opening of the narrative captures the intense atmosphere surrounding the mobilization of troops in Rheims. Christian Mallet reflects on the day the bugle call awakened him in the barracks, marking the end of normalcy and the beginning of his journey into war. As he gathers his belongings and prepares for departure, the chaos around him—the anxious townsfolk, the hurried farewells, and the growing realization of impending conflict—paints a poignant picture of the fears and hopes of young soldiers. The narrative vividly presents the immediate impact of war on the lives of both the troops and their families, setting the stage for the adventures and traumas that will unfold throughout the book.
