Summary "Battery E in France: 149th Field Artillery, Rainbow (42nd) Division" by Frederic R. Kilner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences of Battery E, part of the 149th Field Artillery, during World War I, particularly focusing on their time in France. It documents the training, camaraderie, challenges, and memories of the soldiers as they transition from life at home to the realities of war, with a specific emphasis on the bonds formed and the sacrifices made by the men of the battery. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the background and formation of Battery E, detailing their inception, military service, and eventual deployment to France in 1917. It vividly sets the stage with accounts of their journey, the camaraderie amongst members, and the anxiety that filled the air as they prepared for their important and perilous mission. Kilner's writing offers a glimpse into the soldiers' daily lives, illustrating both the mundane routines and the profound moments that would define their experience, ultimately laying the groundwork for the bravery and resilience they are expected to display in the ensuing battles. The author pays homage to fallen comrades and establishes a poignant tone as he prepares to share their story amidst the chaotic backdrop of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
