| Summary | "Verdun to the Vosges: Impressions of the War on the Fortress Frontier of France" by Gerald Campbell is a historical account written in the early 20th century during the First World War. The text documents the author's experiences and observations as a special correspondent stationed on the eastern front of France, specifically between Verdun and Belfort. The narrative delves into the realities of warfare, the conditions at the front, and the sentiments of both soldiers and civilians as they faced the German advances. At the start of the book, Campbell recounts his journey from London to Dijon in September 1914, filled with uncertainty and the specter of war looming over Europe. He describes the atmosphere in France, the initial retreat of allied forces, and the mingled feelings of anxiety and hope among the troops and civilians. Throughout this opening segment, he highlights interactions with French military personnel and the local population, shedding light on their resilience and courage in the face of adversity. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, the opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the conflict and its human dimensions as the narrative unfolds.
