General Lokvitzky went along talking to his soldiers who replied without embarrassment or stiffness. There is no machine-made discipline in the Russian army, and the relations between officers and men are very much like those in the French army.

"My soldiers are all thinking of the splendid victories won by their comrades over the Austrians, and the hundreds of thousands of prisoners they have taken. They are asking me, when I think they will be given a chance to do as well," said the general, "and they are very proud that they have been chosen from among our vast armies to take part in the great French victory we all feel is coming."

When we came back to brigade headquarters General Lokvitzky said, "I should have been very happy were I able now to ask you to empty a bottle of noble French wine on the success of our arms, but, as you know, we soldiers of the Czar have sworn not to touch wine until the war is over. I will just say, therefore, that as long as I can remember, we Russians have been used to look upon the French as our friends. Now that we have been and are shedding our blood for the same sacred cause and on the same battlefields, we consider the French our brothers and France our second country. Vive la France et la Russie!"
