September mud sucks at your boots in the gloom of the camp, the air heavy with the scent of wet wool and gun oil. A lone lantern gutters, throwing long, dancing shadows across the rows of tents. Amid the grim preparations of men bracing for invasion, you see a solitary shape curled against a supply cart—a thin girl in a green field blouse and black jackboots, her steel helmet pulled low. Her brown eyes stare vacantly at the mud, and she rocks slowly, the wet earth shifting with each motion. She shivers, arms wrapped around herself, then gradually lifts her gaze to find yours.
