Liége on the line of march

The work presents a dated series of eyewitness journal entries by a young resident in Liège during the German advance, recording daily life under bombardment, troop movements, and scenes of evacuation. It alternates domestic detail, such as garden life and local characters, with accounts of combat, the wounded and ambulances, defensive demolitions, and civilian improvisation. Recurring themes include fear and stoicism, disrupted communications and supply lines, and the interplay of military action with ordinary routines. The narrative conveys immediacy through sensory observation and brief reflections while preserving a day-by-day chronology of events and responses.
