[A] The trial of Mme. Caillaux for the murder of the editor of Le Figaro.—TRANSLATOR.
[B] “Les compagnons—ceux avec qui on rompt le pain.”
[C] The banquette is about eighteen inches above the pathway at the bottom of the trench. The men stand here when firing or when on guard.—TRANSLATORS’ NOTE.
[D] The trenches were about seven feet deep. On the forward side was a step, or ledge, on which the men could stand when shooting.—TRANSLATORS’ NOTE.
[E] It has been found that water must not touch the skin for many hours after suffering a gas attack. The chemical action of the water rots the flesh. For the same reason the “poilu” is now clean-shaven: the poison of gas remains in a beard for days, and perspiration adds to the dangers of inhalation.—TRANSLATOR.
[F] Literally, “I am gnawing them away.”
[G] Adrian barracks are made in sections, which enables them to be put up or taken down quickly.—TRANSLATOR’S NOTE.
