About This Book
A first-person memoir of service on the Karelian front that traces the author's attempt to join artillery units, improvised training and mechanical repairs, and the effort to secure and operate captured guns and ammunition. Episodes alternate between frontline skirmishes near towns and rivers, camp life among spirited comrades, and lighter moments that reveal camaraderie. The narrative emphasizes practical problem-solving under scarce resources, the everyday routines and frustrations of wartime service, and reflections on logistics, technical improvisation, and the bonds formed among volunteer fighters.
