"Here lies a French Soldier who died for his country 1914 - 1918."
The French unknown soldier was buried under the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs Elysees, 11 November 1921.
Read either Georges Boucheron, L'Assaut: l'Argonne et Vauquois avec la 10e division, 1914-1915, or Julius Mazé, ed., Le carnet de campagne du sergent Lefèvre, 1914-1916 (along with the background notes for either). These are both French memoirs that I have personally translated.
Answer the following question in a one-page paper:
Citing specific evidence from the book that you have chosen to read (not from the textbook), how did World War I affect the author and his friends?
Your paper must follow this format:
- font size 10 or 12
- one-inch margins
- double-spaced
- Since I know the exact source that you are citing, you do not need page number citations for your quoted evidence.
- not to exceed one (1) page
- name, and only name, at the top left of the paper
- The paper must have brief introduction and conclusion paragraphs (each not to exceed three lines).
- You may consider submitting a draft of your assignment for feedback before submitting the assignment for a grade. At times, you may be asked to rewrite your essay before it is graded. This is done for your own benefit and will result in an improved grade.
