Summary "A Padre in France" by George A. Birmingham is a novel written in the early 20th century, set during World War I. The story follows the experiences of a British padre (chaplain) as he arrives in France to serve with the military, reflecting on the contrasting aspects of war, the soldiers he encounters, and the nature of the roles played behind the front lines. It sheds light on the lives of those who suffer under the strain of war, highlighting the humanity that exists amidst the chaos and the seemingly mundane realities of military life. At the start of the book, the narrator delves into his feelings about the war and his role in it, expressing his admiration for the bravery of soldiers while resigned to the more sordid aspects of life behind the lines. He recounts his journey from England to France, filled with humor and trepidation as he navigates the complexities of military protocol and relationships. The opening also introduces his interactions with other padres and various officers, setting the stage for an exploration of camaraderie, duty, and the often-overlooked characters that support the war effort from the rear.
