Rhythm in Army Bike Weary March Through Night Town
A diary style account of a march by a regiment toward the front. Soldiers trudge through darkness at 5am, reach a town by noon, some fall sick or need bandaging while surgeons ride along. Bed space is found in a chateau as the night in a foreign village unfolds among thirsty, tired headquarters staff.
Moving On Again in a French Army March
Soldiers march through northern France after a grueling 15 mile trek. They endure hunger, thirst, blistered feet, and fatigue while trading jokes and memories of older campaigns. Rest stops bring brief relief before long hikes resume in the inky dawn and midday heat.
