Summary "My .75: Reminiscences of a Gunner of a .75m/m Battery in 1914" by Paul Lintier is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents a first-hand narrative of a soldier’s experiences during the mobilization and early days of World War I, particularly detailing the life of an artilleryman and his comrades. The book delves into the themes of camaraderie, fear, and the stark reality of war as perceived through the eyes of those fighting it. The opening of the narrative sets a vivid scene, capturing the initial disbelief among soldiers as they await what seems like an impending war. Lintier describes the mundane life in barracks, the mixed emotions felt by both soldiers and their families, and the moments leading up to General Mobilization. Characters like Hutin, the energetic gunner, and Déprez, the dreamy corporal, are introduced as they navigate their feelings of anticipation and fear. The reader is provided with a rich, emotional landscape of the soldiers’ thoughts and experiences, engaging with how camaraderie flourished amidst the uncertainty and anxiety of the approaching conflict. This opening effectively sets the stage for the unfolding story of bravery, loss, and the stark realities of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
