Many similar cases might be mentioned, but the most touching of all is, perhaps, that of a Councillor of State and former Pr6fet, who enlisted as a common soldier at the age of sixty, and was at last killed by a splinter from a howitzer shell.
Bien d'autres cas du môme ordre pourraient être cités. Le plus touchant peut-être, est celui de ce conseiller d'Etat, ancien préfet qui, à soixante ans. contracta un engagement de simple soldat et finit par être tué d'un éclat d'obus.

Seen from above the trench is like a rake, of which the splinter-screens are the teeth, and the spaces between one tooth and the next are each capable of holding three or four sharpshooters.
Vue d'en haut, la tranchée présente ainsi l'aspect d'un râteau dont les murs pare-éclats forment les dents, l'espace compris entre une dent et l'autre pouvant contenir trois à quatre tireurs.

The sandbags have been torn asunder and gutted; they are crumbled, emptied, scattered to the wind. The wooden props and beams are splintered, and point all ways.

Avez-vous jamais entendu un de vos Chinois chanter son chant de mort, tandis qu’on lui enfonce des éclats de bois dans la chair, qu’on la lui coupe avec des couteaux, qu’on entoure son corps d’un feu ardent, et qu’il a la mort en face ?
