Pour sa fille de huit ans, Renefer, artiste et soldat sur le front, a raconté et dessiné la vie quotidienne des poilus. Dans les tranchées, à l'assaut ou au repos : ce carnet, fidèlement reproduit au format original, constitue un récit " de première main ", pensé pour les enfants, qui garde encore aujourd'hui toute sa valeur de témoignage. Renefer, an artist and a soldier at the front, sent his eight year-old daughter descriptions and drawings of the daily life of France's poilus, as ordinary soldiers were called in World War I. This sketchbook, depicting the troops marching or resting in between battles, is a first-hand account of the great war, meant for children, remarkable for its unique " I was here " quality.
