Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Phillips Academy, Andover, in the Great War Although the editing of this volume has been decidedly a labor of love, it has been attended by difficulties of a most perplexing kind. He who undertakes to gather and publish records at once invites trouble and criticism. It can only be said that every effort has been used to make the list of men in service accurate and complete, and, whenever it is discovered that a name has been omitted, it will usually be found that the fault does not lie entirely with Phillips Academy. Circulars, return postcards, and letters have been sent, at one time or another, to every person on the address list of the school; and no avenue of approach to military and naval data has been left untraversed. The most difficult problem has been to decide where to draw the line in including men in service. If every Andover man who contributed in some way to winning our victory were mentioned, this book would certainly have to be enlarged to several volumes. It was necessary, therefore, to draw a formal and technical line between civilians and those who wore the uniform of our government. Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. workers have, however, been included, under separate headings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
