Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Little Part in a Big War From a letter dated February 20th, 1918, written in Paris to my old and intimate friend, M. Leo Sipser, I quote the following: "So you think my letters would make interesting manuscripts? Well, all I can say is that if they were written in disappearing ink, they would have unlimited circulation in every blind man´s home in the country! Those are about the only places and under the only conditions wherein they might be appreciated. But thanks for the compliment just the same. Who ever heard of me as a man of letters!" I have not changed my opinion in the slightest degree, and I am compiling this narrative of my experiences and impressions to bolster my memory in future years - to keep me from forgetting the hardships and pleasures, the work and the play incidental to my stay in France as one of the American Expeditionary Forces sent to that country in the great World War of 1914-1918. The letters that follow were passed by the Censor in much the same form as they appear here. While gathering them together for this narrative, I have added dates, geographical locations, names of persons, and other details, which at the time of writing were forbidden by the General Orders covering Mail Censorship. I have also expanded some notes from my diary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
