Summary "Covered With Mud and Glory: A Machine Gun Company in Action" by Georges Lafond is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of a machine gun company in the French Army during World War I, providing vivid depictions of the soldiers' lives, battles, and camaraderie amidst the harrowing backdrop of war. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist—a mounted intelligence officer—arriving at his new assignment during a snowy day in Picardy. As he navigates through mud and war-torn landscapes with his horse, Kiki, the author vividly paints the challenging conditions and chaos of military life. Lafond describes the characters he encounters, such as the rough quartermaster, dedicated soldiers, and various officers, setting the tone for a deeply personal recounting of the war, emphasizing themes of duty, friendship, and the trials faced by those who served on the front lines. The journey leads to a profound connection with these soldiers as Lafond prepares to share their stories of valor and hardship throughout the text. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
