[AUTHOR'S PREFACE]
This volume contains an ensemble of true episodes about the French poilu taken from my diary.
The reader will regret, perhaps, the absence of continuity in the following chapters; that will rapidly disappear, however, when he sees the characteristic figures he should better know and love for a long time to come. A scruple has always guided me: to write the truth. I have been strict in writing nothing but what I have seen or heard.
