<ref name="n8"> Proust semble faire ici allusion à un article paru dans Le Figaro du 31 janvier 1915, p. 3, sous le titre de « L'affaire de l'Hartmannswillerkopf ». On peut y lire : « Ce n'est qu'un épisode de guerre. Mais c'est un épisode magnifique. Nous avions, au sommet de l'Hartmannswillerkopf, une grande avant-garde qui a été, le 19 janvier, très violemment attaquée par des forces importantes. Nous avions voulu la dégager. La chose était malaisée. Les pentes, dans ce coin des Vosges, sont un chaos de rochers. [...] Il neigeait. La brume empêchait de voir à dix mètres. Comme il s'agissait de sauver des camarades, nos officiers et nos soldats n'ont pas hésité. [...] » Suit le récit de leur pénible ascension, l'espoir de sauver leurs camarades s'amenuisant mais leur volonté de reprendre le sommet demeurant intacte. — Les combats pour reprendre le sommet de l'Hartmannswillerkopf durèrent de janvier à juin 1915, et la guerre de positions qui en résulta (chaque armée occupant une partie de cette hauteur) ne devait se terminer qu'en 1918.
