Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Forging the Sword, the Story of Camp Devens, New England´s Army Cantonment Camp Devens is the only national encampment in New England. The work done there in preparation for the World War measured fully up to the country´s expectations. Every New Englander and every man who served at Camp Devens will be interested in an account of its activities. "Forging the Sword" gives in chronological order, from the arrival of the first man at Camp Devens to the demobilization of the 26th Division, a full account of how New England´s manpower was assembled, equipped, trained, and thousands sent across to fight. The author, Mr. William J. Robinson, correspondent of the Boston Globe, is equipped by nature and by experience to undertake this important work. He lived in the cantonment for more than a year. He did not simply exist there. He was always on the job regardless of weather or other conditions. He had access to all places and to all formations, and he saw the troops being equipped, he saw them in training, and he saw them during the distressing epidemic of influenza. He knew the officers and thousands of the enlisted men, and associated daily and freely with them, on and off duty. He was liked by them and had their confidence. What he has written can be relied upon as the true story of Camp Devens. I am pleased to commend his story of how the sword of New England was forged to all who are interested in Camp Devens and to all who are justly proud of the part played by New England in the great war.
