"Vagabonds of the Sea: The Campaign of a French Cruiser" by René Milan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work narrates the experiences and adventures of a French naval cruiser, the "Waldeck-Rousseau", during World War I, focusing on the impending battles and the preparations of the French Navy. The story is set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, where the crew faces various emotional trials, anticipation for combat, and interactions with their homeland. The opening of the narrative takes place just as World War I looms, beginning with a naval officer’s journey from Paris to Toulon as he joins the cruiser in preparation for war. The initial excitement of impending battle contrasts with the delay caused by the cruiser’s repairs, creating an atmosphere of tension and urgency. Milan captures the spirit of the French people and the naval officers' eager anticipation for heroism, intertwined with poignant farewells from loved ones. As they settle into life aboard the cruiser, the crew's camaraderie and diligence are underlined amidst the stifling heat of summer and the heavy anticipation of their imminent deployment into action against Austrian forces in the Adriatic.
