Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sons of Men, Evansville´s War Record Now that the war has been over for more than a yea)- and a half, communities as well as individuals are asked, "What have you done to help?" The fighting has been over long enough for the recorder of its events to obtain historical perspective and authenticity, but the events of the war are still indelibly impressed on the minds of all so as to give an accurate and vivid account of this soul stirring period of American history. The title of the book, "Sons of Men," has special reference to the first chapter of this book, "The Gold Stars." The time and painstaking work devoted to this chapter were out of all proportion to any similar quantity of material in the volume. With few exceptions every Gold Star family was interviewed. The material was obtained from the parents, often the mother, and included not only biographical data that the parents could give, but also Government reports, telegrams, personal letters from eyewitnesses such as officers, comrades. Red Cross nurses and chaplains. In some cases the material was very cant and limited, and this fact will explain the different lengths and variety of detail of the biographies. So many of Evansville´s Gold Stars who were in active service abroad belonged to the Thirtieth Division (Old Hickory) that the experiences of the Lucky Five are a history of the military career of more than five plucky Evansville soldiers. The events described in this narrative also furnish an idea of the military maneuvers of the American forces during the drive on the Hindenburg Line. The preparation of the second chapter was tedious and laborious. Some of the returned heroes went through gruesome experiences. Their baptism by fire would merit a description as a recognition of valor as well as for its fire would merit a description as a recognition of valor as well as for its fabulous exploits. Other returned soldiers went through many hardships, although they were not in the trenches; and all were in the service of their Country. The least that could be done was to have this Honor Roll, which recognizes their part in the war. The names in the first two chapters are arrange alphabetically for obvious reasons.
