How sad the countryside is -- Here it is extermination on the ground -- Oh, how I suffered, my poor Paul -- No one is happy in war -- We are martyrs of the century |

A young peasant couple from southwest France wed just prior to to war's eruption in 1914 is forced to conduct their marriage mostly by correspondence.
