The General Of The Dead Army - Plot & Excerpts

Despite the late hour he did not feel sleepy. His briefcase lay on the table, and he stretched out a mechanical hand to pick it up.
He pulled out the lists of dead soldiers and began leafing through them. They made a big bundle, stapled together in batches of four, five - up to ten sheets. He glanced through them, re-reading for the hundredth time the headings typed in capitals at the beginning of each list: “Old Glory Regiment”, “Second Division”, “Iron Division”, “3rd Alpine Battalion”, “4th Regiment of Guards”, “Victory Division”, “7th Infantry Division”, “Blue Battalion” (a punitive unit) … He paused for a moment over this last one. The first name on the list was that of Colonel Z., followed by the names, listed in alphabetical order, of all the other dead, officers, N.C.O.s, privates, all classified according to their troops and companies. “Blue Battalion” - a pretty name, the general thought to himself.
The typing of the lists had been started in the spring.
