Résumé:Gendarmerie warrant officer Robert Hue wrote subjective daily notes which differ from most of the usual papers of the Expeditionary Force veterans by their critical lucidity. He depicts in an alert style his short experience of Far East from day to day. He so contributes to give more life to archives by bringing prickly details and impressions of the fighting men. He pulls no punches in describing logistics, support and command. A stabbing impression of disorder, improvisation, mess-ups underlies all the narrative.
