The Gilded Youth and the Verdun Night Ambulance
The chapter follows Henry and the speaker with Major Murphy as they join French ambulance corps near Verdun. They witness Verdun’s ruined streets, a night ambulance trek through mist and shellfire, and a silent, relentless revitalment train. A brief encounter with wealth contrasts during a moonlit patrol leads to reflections on courage and democracy. A hospital funeral scene underscores the cost of war and the human toll on soldiers.
