Synopsis
Excerpt from All for France: Extracts From the Letters of a French Artillery Officer
Our acquaintance grew into a friendship that I valued highly and then I lost sight of him until late in November, 1914, when I learned that he had answered the call to the colors, and had been wounded at the Battle of the Marne. He recovered and took part in the continuous fighting on the West Front.
From time to time he wrote me, and for a while sent me photographs taken on the Battle Line.
Then came a long silence; then thedreaded black bordered letter from his widow, telling of the glorious death of my beloved husband and how at the battle of Bois Bourrus a bursting shell caused a wound that cost him his life and put his splendid work to a sudden end.
