Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shelby County in the World War "Shelby County in The World War" is designed to give simply but accurately a resume of the work performed by the Civilian army within Shelby County and by her valiant sons and daughters in all departments of the military establishment and its auxiliaries, to win the war and bring lasting peace to the world. Unlike some histories of the war, the publishers have undertaken to incorporate in this volume the service record of every soldier, sailor or marine whose home was in Shelby County, together with the picture of each where it was physically possible to procure it; the records and pictures of Y. M. C. A. secretaries, War Camp Community workers, nurses; the story in brief of the willing and important service rendered within the county through the various organizations formed for service behind the lines, yet no less essential to the success of the Allied arms than that performed in trench, on sea or in the air - in short, a detailed military history of the county during the World War, including the activities and personnel of all the noble men and women engaged in war work. To provide this sort of permanent record means great expenditure of time and money, and extensive research and compilations: but the end justifies the means, for no other book can fill the place it is destined to occupy. If there are omissions in the completed volume, it will be due to limitations over which the editors have had no control, and will represent repeated but unsuccessful efforts to get the information lacking. If errors occur they will have crept in after all possible diligence has been exerted to eliminate them. No discriminations are intended, no disparagement of one for the undue aggrandizement of another. In the magnificent achievements of the men and women of Shelby County there is glory enough for all, and it is honestly sought to make a clear, authentic record of it all.
