Michael thoroughly enjoyed the war (Майкл чрезвычайно наслаждался войной).

He was popular in the regimental mess (он пользовался популярностью: «был

популярен» в полковой столовой), and the officers of the old army (и офицеры

старой гвардии: «армии») accepted him almost at once (приняли его почти что

сразу), even though he was an actor (даже хотя он и был актером), as one of

themselves (как своего: «как одного из их самих»). It was as though the family

of soldiers (было похоже, что семья профессиональных военных: «солдат»)

from which he was born (в которой: «из которой» он родился) had set a seal on

him (отметила его печатью: «поставила на нем печать») so that he fell

instinctively into the manner and way of thinking of the professional soldier (так

что он инстинктивно воспринял манеры и образ мыслей профессионального

военного: «солдата»; to fall in(to) a state — впадать в какое-либо состояние,

оказаться в каком-либо положении). He had tact and a pleasant manner (он

обладал тактом и приятными манерами), and he knew how to pull strings

adroitly (и он знал, как пользоваться связями умело; to pull strings —

использовать свое влияние, пускать в ход связи, to pull — тянуть,

натягивать, string — веревка, бечевка); it was inevitable (было неизбежным)

that he should get on the staff of some general (что он должен был попасть в

штаб к какому-нибудь генералу; staff — штат, персонал, воен. штаб). He

showed himself possessed of considerable organizing capacity (он обнаружил

владение значительными организаторскими способностями; to show oneself —

проявить себя, оказаться кем-либо) and the last three years of the war (и

последние три года войны) he passed at G.H.Q (он провел в ставке

главнокомандующего; G.H.Q = General Headquarters = штаб-квартира,

ставка, главное командование). He ended it as a major (он закончил /войну в

звании/ майора), with the Military Cross (с военным крестом) and the Legion of

Honour (и Орденом почетного легиона).
