"On the Right of the British Line" by Captain Gilbert Nobbs is a personal account written in the early 20th century. This memoir details Nobbs’s experiences as a soldier during World War I, particularly his time on the front lines in France, where he faced battle, the challenges of military life, and the emotional toll of war. In a deeply reflective tone, Nobbs aims to provide an honest record of his experiences, highlighting the sacrifices of not only the soldiers in combat but also those at home. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Nobbs’s impending deployment to the front lines. He receives a telegram informing him of his orders to report to France within a short timeframe. The narrative captures his mix of emotions—eagerness for adventure yet apprehension about leaving home. As he prepares for departure from Fovant, he shares reflections on the spirit of camaraderie among soldiers, the stark contrast between military life and civilian routine, and the often overlooked heroism of the women waiting at home, which he dedicates the book to. Nobbs vividly portrays the chaotic scenes at Waterloo Station and his thoughts on the uncertainties ahead, establishing a poignant beginning to his war narrative.
