Summary "Leaves from a Field Note-Book" by J. H. Morgan is a collection of personal accounts and narratives written in the early 20th century. The book details the author's experiences while serving as a Home Office Commissioner with the British Expeditionary Force during World War I, providing a glimpse into military life, the challenges faced by soldiers, and the realities of war. Through various sketches and stories, Morgan captures the human aspects of warfare, focusing on the lives of soldiers, their struggles, and the environment in which they operate. The opening of the work establishes Morgan's position within the military hierarchy and sets a tone of authenticity regarding his observations. He recounts the daily routines, challenges, and nuances of life at the military base and the front lines. By illustrating the interactions between officers and enlisted men, as well as the camaraderie and hardships experienced by those serving, Morgan aims to provide a true reflection of the emotional and physical toll of war. He introduces a variety of characters, including soldiers from diverse backgrounds, revealing their thoughts, fears, and aspirations amidst the chaos of conflict. This beginning serves as a foundation for the deeper explorations into the human experiences of warfare that will follow throughout the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
