Summary: "A 'Temporary Gentleman' in France" by A. J. Dawson is a collection of letters written during World War I, specifically in 1918. The letters are penned by a British officer, referred to as the "Temporary Gentleman," detailing his experiences and observations from the front lines in France. The narrative reflects the camaraderie, struggles, and evolving identity of soldiers during the war. At the start of the narrative, the "Temporary Gentleman" arrives in France after months of training in England.
