Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quartermaster Corps: In the Year 1917 in the World War It was a gigantic task that was thrust upon the Corps of which General Sharpe was the head when we entered the war. Our Allies were being sorely pressed and needed our aid at the earliest possible moment and their representatives in this country did not fail to press upon Washington the necessity for haste. After the Armistice, Lord Reading in an address at the University Club, described the situation of the opposing Armies in March, 1918, when the enemy was only about thirty miles from Paris, told of his visit to the President, adding that when he left it was with a lighter heart and a quicker step than for many months before as lie hastened to cable Lloyd George that the American troops then in France would go immediately into the battle line (though without that thorough training theretofore regarded as necessary) and that troops would be taken from the cantonments and sent over to take immediate part in the fighting as fast as bottoms and convoys could be ready. The impossible was attempted on our part from the very beginning, and in the effort to attain it, we actually accomplished that which was never before even attempted by any nation.
