Die Soldaat is the translation into Afrikaans by Mrs Strelen of a play by French playwright Paul Raynal (1885-1971) [1].


The original text

The original is possibly the tragedy in three acts Le Tombeau sous l’Arc de Triomphe written in 1924, a powerful drama which shows a soldier on leave from the front and carries its tense scenes forward with merely three persons - the soldier himself, the girl to whom he is betrothed, and his father.
