Woe to those who began this war, if they were not in bitter earnest.

Every day regiments pass by. The town is crowded with soldiers. These new ones are running in, fairly. They fear the war will be over before they get a sight of the fun.

Our battle [summer]]. May it be our first and our last. So-called. After all, we have not had any of the horrors of war.
