„Ich schnallte mein Kochgeschirr ab und ging zur Feldküche.“
"I unstrapped my mess kit and went to the field kitchen."
„Pierre rückte ans Feuer heran und begann zu essen, was im Kochgeschirr war, und dies Essen schmeckte ihm besser als alles, was man ihm in seinem ganzen Leben vorgesetzt hatte.“
"Pierre moved closer to the fire and began to eat what was in the mess kit, and this food tasted better to him than anything he had ever been served in his whole life."
