Another engaging introduction is to start with a character. Describe their state of mind just before the war action started. For instance, 'John was just a young lad, his hands trembling as he held his rifle for the very first time. He had no idea what was about to unfold in the next few hours, but he was about to be plunged into the chaos of war...'
One way could be to start with a vivid description of the battlefield. For example, 'The ground was a desolate mess of mud and craters, as if the earth itself had been crying out in pain. This was where the war began for me...'
You can also begin with a powerful quote related to war. Like starting with Eisenhower's quote, 'I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.' And then lead into your personal war story.
