Summarize what Gabriel reflects on since his honeymoon while aboard a ship from India to Africa.

While aboard a ship from Africa to India, Gabriel thinks back to what has occurred since his honeymoon. After ending his honeymoon early, Gabriel and Charis return to England where Gabriel receives orders to return to India and rejoin his unit. The voyage from England to India takes twenty-six days and is unpleasant for all of the soldiers. Once in India with his regiment, instead of being sent with the rest of the soldiers to fight in France, Gabriel is attached to the 69th Palamcotta Light Infantry, a poorly trained unit of Indian soldiers that has not been involved in any significant action in a long time.
