"Pushed and the Return Push" by George Herbert Fosdike Nichols is a military narrative written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. The book recounts the experiences of a field artillery officer and his brigade as they navigate the pressures and chaos of war, focusing on their strategies and interactions in the midst of battle. Through the lens of various characters, particularly the returning officer, the narrative encapsulates the realities faced by soldiers on the frontlines and the tactical decisions involved in warfare. The beginning of the book establishes a prelude to conflict as the protagonist returns to his brigade after recovering from an injury. Set in a peaceful but tense environment, the narrative introduces familiar faces among the officers and provides a sense of camaraderie and routine amidst the looming threat of German advances. The opening details events leading up to a critical anticipated attack, including inspections of horses and artillery positions, light-hearted anecdotes, and a preparation for potential combat, all while hinting at the grim realities that lie ahead for the brigade. The atmosphere is lively yet underscored by tension as the men ready themselves for an impending conflict that will test their resolve and capabilities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
