"Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front" by E. W. Hornung is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the experiences of a man, referred to as a camp-follower, who finds himself amidst the realities of World War I, specifically in a Y.M.C.A. canteen that serves British soldiers on the Western Front. The author captures the atmosphere of the war through the lens of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the human condition, as seen in the interactions between the soldiers and the camp-follower. The opening of the memoir introduces the camp-follower as he arrives at his post, describing the dilapidated yet significant location where he will serve soldiers tea and snacks. He observes the soldierly rituals and interactions while reflecting on the youth and bravery of the men around him. With a blend of humor and pathos, he describes the setting and characters encountered during his service, showcasing the vibrant spirit of the soldiers as they seek comfort amid the chaos of war. This initial chapter sets the tone for the unfolding stories of courage, friendship, and the realities of life during wartime, all observed from the unique vantage point of someone serving the frontline troops.
