About This Book
A first-person wartime memoir by an exchanged officer recounts mobilization, early maneuvers and a fraught retreat under shellfire, the experience of being wounded, and treatment in field and civil hospitals. It records ward life, medical care, daily routines and bonds among patients, then follows the author into captivity with descriptions of prison quarters, camp conditions and local encounters. The narrative moves from frontline disorder through recovery and internment to eventual return, offering observant detail and measured reflections on the physical hardships and moral strains of service and confinement.
