Excerpt from Diary of a French Army Chaplain
Civilized peoples, and it is to their credit, so little love war for war's sake, that the greatest crime of which they accuse Germany is of hav ing unchained it.
But, though having had themselves no wish for it, though only seeking to rid the world of it and to cut it off at the root, they are fighting today with no less courage and no less determination.
In order to give these impressions one merit which I hope will supply the place of many others sincerity, - I will tell them just as they followed each other in my mind. I will nevertheless abbreviate those of the first month, while the War did not yet show itself as seen from a hospital, leaving just enough to serve as an introduction and recall the feelings that moved us all during that unforgettable month of August, and to show in what state of mind I approached my new duties.
One defect which I shall take care not to correct is that I have more than once expressed fears or hopes that were not justified by events my excuse.
