Summary "Souvenirs militaires de 1804 à 1814" by Fezensac is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences and insights from his military service during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically from 1804 until the end of the French Empire. The narrative reflects on major military developments and battles, as well as the daily life of soldiers, providing a detailed depiction of the period’s customs and military culture. At the start of the memoir, the author, an eager young recruit, recounts his entry into military service in 1804, motivated by a passion for a military career. He shares his initial experiences at the Camp of Montreuil, detailing the organization of the army and insights into camp life, including the living conditions, meals, and interactions with fellow soldiers. The opening portion sets a vivid scene of the preparations for an anticipated invasion of England, while also capturing the author’s sense of naivety and learning as he navigates military protocols and the realities of soldiering.
