The opening of the text introduces the reader to Dawson’s time at the front lines in France, conveying his initial excitement over America's entry into the war and the relief that it brings. He shares intimate reflections on life as a soldier, drawing contrasts between his memories of home and the stark, dangerous conditions he endures in the trenches.
