Summary "A Journal of Impressions in Belgium" by May Sinclair is a personal journal written in the early 20th century during World War I. This work captures the author's experiences and reflections as she engages with the harsh realities of war, specifically focusing on her journey with a Field Ambulance Corps in Belgium. It explores themes of duty, fear, and the juxtaposition of beauty and horror in a war-torn landscape. The opening of the journal introduces us to Sinclair's initial thoughts as she embarks on her mission to Belgium following the invasion. She details the chaotic beginnings of assembling a volunteer ambulance team, sharing a mix of humor and trepidation about the anticipated horrors of war. As the team arrives in Ostend, Sinclair's observations emphasize both the beauty of the Flemish countryside and her growing anxiety about the impending conflict. With a diverse group of characters, including the dedicated but sometimes comically overwhelmed team members, the journal sets the stage for Sinclair's evolving understanding of her role amid the stark realities of wartime, reflecting on both her internal struggles and the stark experiences awaiting them.
