Turbulent Paris to Parisian Front Chronicle
A London letter-writer reports from the Franco Prussian war front near Phalsbourg and Metz. He describes troops marching, requisitions, and the rain of artillery as Prussians push toward strongholds while French morale frays. He notes bloodied churches, wounded soldiers, and grim field surgery as mobile guards depart for Paris.
