Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The First Division It is easy to forget. And we, it seems, are fast forgetting that but lately men in thousands were dying, in hundreds of thousands risking death, mutilation, enduring the agony of battle, creating a new tradition of American manhood, at our command. Our fine fervor has vanished as the summer mist, souls have gone cold. The lonely limping figure in khaki, still sometimes met on the street, we pass with careless glance; gold stripes on both sleeves, bit of ribbon on breast, meaningless, symbols to us to whom the war meant petty sacrifice, a trifle of discomfort,or even profit. One does not talk of the war now a days. We are tired of the war and of hearing about it - the most dramatic, stupendous fact in our history! The clustered graves overseas, the path of glory that led to them? A tale that is told! I, who in unheroic role saw much what this booklet shall tell, cannot forget. May I set down one reason,one of many reasons that grow more poignant as they recede? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
