Tuesday 18 April

Our reinforcements have arrived from the class of 1916. They look the part.

They’ve brought some flags with them. They seem solid and cheerful enough.

General Tatin came to inspect them.

Wednesday 19 April

At 10.30 am Consul summoned all his officers to his dining-room. Squalid: greasy newspapers, crusts of bread, coffee-stains on the table.

Young Rouzeaud was tapping out La Marseillaise on the piano in the corner, when Consul stormed in. ‘I’ve invited you here to discuss military matters, gentlemen. Not to attend a theatrical performance. I’m sorry I have to raise the matter. I never indulged in such behaviour when visiting a senior officer.’

Miserable old fuss-pot!
