[CHAPTER TWO]
MALANCOURT WOOD AND ST. MENEHOULDE
This chapter adds a few impressions noted by the author during a very short trip he made to the Argonne in the month of July, 1915.
It was at this epoch the army of the Crown Prince undertook strong attacks to the north of St. Menehoulde.
This sojourn took place between the two periods spent on the Belgian front.
For the first time Sub-Lieutenant Capart took part in an episode in the war of mines.
After having visited Verdun, Douaumont, and made a series of reconnaissances in Malancourt Wood, that of Hesse, and also to the west of Vauquois, Capart left for the Flanders' front where he took up his unfinished work.
