Summary "With My Regiment: From the Aisne to La Bassée" by Arthur Mills is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a firsthand perspective of a British officer's experiences during World War I, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the Aisne campaign and the battles that ensued. It explores the personal and collective challenges faced by soldiers as they transition from civilian life to the harsh realities of war. The opening of the book sets the stage for the onset of World War I, capturing the anxiety and excitement of a young officer's preparation for war. The narrative begins with the author receiving mobilization orders and detailing his rush to gather personal belongings, highlighting the emotional weight of leaving behind loved ones. As he embarks on his journey, the book portrays both the camaraderie among soldiers and the underlying fears of uncertain fates, with numerous characters introduced, including a humorous comrade named Mulligan. The initial chapters offer vivid imagery of military life, the chaos of departing for battle, and the stark contrast between peace and the looming violence of warfare.
