Examples from texts

I will not tell you to be careful of your life; your duty teaches you that. As a soldier, expose it; as a husband guard it; and return to me as you leave me, a lover, the dearest of men, and a Christian.»
… Je ne vous dirai pas d’avoir soin de vos jours… je ne connais que trop les cruels devoirs d’un militaire ; mais pensez quelquefois à votre amie, qui ne saurait vivre sans vous, et puisse le ciel que j’invoque vous rendre bientôt à mon amour !

And one day, returning to his own simple story, he thought: But if what happened to me hadn't happened, I should never have understood what it meant, that look a soldier carried in his eyes all through the long night of the war…
Et, un jour, retournant à son histoire simple, il pensa: «Mais s'il ne m'était pas arrivé ce qui m'est arrivé, je n'aurais jamais compris le sens de ce regard qu'un soldat emportait dans ses yeux à travers la nuit de guerre…»

I wondered why he had not some high command in the field, for he had had the name of a good soldier.
Je me demandai pourquoi il n’avait pas un haut commandement au front, car il avait la réputation d’être un bon soldat.

A soldier crouched over the mane of his horse, welded to it as if into a single dark arrow, streaking past the trunks of the birch trees.
Un militaire courbé vers la crinière de son cheval, uni à lui en une seule flèche noire qui raya les troncs des bouleaux.

Utter slavery is required of the common soldier, as is plain from the following address, which the Kaiser delivered to the recruits at Potsdam in 1891 : " Body and soul you belong to me.
Quant au simple soldat, c'est l'esclavage complet qu'on en exige. Dans une allocution adressée aux recrues de Postdam en 1891, l'empereur leur disait : « Vous êtes à moi corps et âme.

No thorough soldier ever relies on anything but his commissary for supplies; and I beg that no part of my regiment may be the first to set an example to the contrary."
Un soldat de Sa Majesté ne doit compter pour ses vivres que sur le commissariat, et je désire qu’aucune partie de mon régiment ne donne l’exemple du contraire.

But he himself, amidst the disquietude which was coming over him, was not quite sure he had not counted upon a despatch of troops; and he did, in fact, consider it strange that not a single soldier had made his appearance.
Mais lui-même, dans le trouble qui s’emparait de lui, n’était pas bien sûr de ne pas avoir compté sur un envoi de troupes, et il en venait à trouver étonnant, en effet, que pas un soldat n’eût paru.

Although he excelled as a soldier, Mr. Hinzman continued to question his impending involvement in combat.
Bien qu'il fût un excellent soldat, M. Hinzman a continué de remettre en question sa participation imminente au combat.
He was young, but being a re-enlisted soldier, he had the right not to go to the front.
Il était jeune, mais étant rengagé, il avait l’droit de n’pas partir à l’avant.

One of the most typical incidents is that of the soldier who deserted in 1899 and set up as a farmer at Carlsruhe, where he married a German woman, by whom he had six children.
Un des plus typiques est celui de ce soldat qui, après avoir déserté en 1S99, s'établit cultivateur à Carlsruhe et épousa une Allemande, dont il eut six enfants.

It takes no more than a week at the most, for at the end of that time the soldier is so accustomed to the infernal tumult of the bombardment that if by chance the cannonade is interrupted he is literally deafened by the silence.
Ça demande huit jours au maximum. Au bout d'une semaine, le soldat est si bien habitué au tumulte infernal du bombardement que si, par hasard, la canonnade s'interrompt, il demeure littéralement abasourdi par le silence.

And a soldier ventures to add this sentence, though he begins it with lowered voice, "If the present war has advanced progress by one step, its miseries and slaughter will count for little."
Et un soldat ose ajouter cette phrase, qu’il commence pourtant à voix presque basse :– Si la guerre actuelle a fait avancer le progrès d’un pas, ses malheurs et ses tueries compteront pour peu.

And it was upon the desolation and abomination of all the newly erected piles that the eyes of the old soldier of conquest at last rested.
Et c’était sur cette désolation des constructions nouvelles que les regards du vieux soldat de la conquête avaient fini par se fixer.
