Letters of a Soldier, 1914-1915

Letters of a Soldier by Eugene Emmanuel Lemercie is a collection of letters by a painter serving in World War I during the battle of Argonne. Excerpt: «I have been asked to write an Introduction to these letters; and I do so, even though M. Chevrillon has already written one because they are stranger to me, an Englishman than they could be to him a Frenchman; and it seems worthwhile to warn other English readers of this strangeness. But I would warn them of it only by way of a recommendation.»
