Excerpt from Avec une Batterie de 75: Ma Pièce, Souvenirs d'un Canonnier 1914
Paul Lintier n'atteignait pas encore sa vingt troi51eme année, quand il tomba au champ d'honneur, le 15 mars 1916; il achevait alors de corriger les épreuves de son volume, carnet de route rédigé au début de la guerre, pendant les mois émouvants d'août et de septembre 1914. Il avait donc vingt et un ans tout juste quand il écrivit ces pages admirables, et nous devons prendre note exacte de son âge, afin d'appré cier dans toute leur importance, la haute valeur de lhomme qui incubait dans cet enfant, et la perte que c'est là, pour les lettres françaises, pour l'avenir, pour le pays.
