"From Dartmouth to the Dardanelles: A Midshipman's Log" by Wolston B. C. W. Forester is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the time of World War I. The narrative follows the experiences of a young midshipman who embarks on a journey from naval training at Dartmouth College to active duty in the Great War, providing an intimate glimpse into the life of young cadets thrust into the tumult of warfare. The beginning of the text introduces the midshipman as he recounts the initial experiences at Dartmouth College, beginning his journey in May 1914. Descriptions of his arrival and his first day establish a sense of the regimented naval life, marked by rigorous training, camaraderie, and the underlying anticipation of war. As the narrative progresses, the atmosphere shifts dramatically with the rising tensions across Europe, leading to their mobilization and the boy's first brushes with the realities of warfare as he receives orders to join his ship, signaling the end of childhood and the start of his service in the navy amidst a global conflict.
