Summary "A Soldier of the Legion" by Edward Morlae is a novel written in the early 20th century. This gripping narrative recounts the experiences of Sergeant Morlae as he serves in the French Foreign Legion during World War I, particularly focusing on the harrowing realities of battle and the diverse backgrounds of the men in the Legion. The story centers on camaraderie among soldiers, the brutality of warfare, and Morlae's pride in leading a unit composed of misfits and adventurers who are willing to risk everything for France. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sergeant Morlae and provides insight into the men of his regiment as they prepare for a significant battle in Champagne in August 1915. We learn about the mixed backgrounds of the Legionnaires, ranging from criminals and adventurers to Americans seeking action. The narrative captures the anticipation before an attack, detailing the meticulous planning and the soldiers' camaraderie as they share humor and reflect on their uncertain fates. As the soldiers ready themselves for combat, the atmosphere teems with a blend of anxiety, bravado, and a shared sense of purpose, setting the stage for the intense struggles to come as they move towards the front lines, prepared for the chaos of war.
