Upplevelser under krigsåren 1914-1918

The author, a former imperial officer, narrates his mobilization at the outbreak of the war, the panic in his hometown, and the chaotic organization of new reserve and cavalry brigades. He describes staff appointments and duties, training and coastal guard assignments, encounters with shortages and administrative confusion, and participation in an imperial parade. Political suspicion at home leads to investigation and transfers, which affect his postings. Later chapters recall diplomatic and political ferment during the revolution, including discussions about Russia's future and interactions with envoys and influential Berlin salons. The account blends operational detail, personal reaction to upheaval, and observations on shifting loyalties and disorder.
