| Summary | "Battles & Bivouacs: A French soldier's note-book" by Jacques Roujon is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences of a French soldier during World War I, providing a personal narrative of life in the trenches, military engagements, and the camaraderie among troops as they navigate the challenges of war. The story highlights the transition from civilian life to the harsh realities of combat, reflecting on themes of hope, resilience, and the struggle for survival amidst turmoil. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist embarks on a journey from his home as he answers the call to war, filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The opening chapters depict his initial days in training camps and his interactions with fellow soldiers, especially his friend Verrier, as they adapt to their new military duties. Roujon captures the sentiments of camaraderie and determination among the men, while also foreshadowing the challenges they will face as they prepare to join the front lines. Amidst the bustle of travel, the tone shifts from light-hearted banter to a looming sense of the gravity of their situation, setting the stage for the intense experiences that lie ahead.
