Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaves From an Officer´s Notebook I present these pages, which are most of them literally leaves from a notebook, with much humility. I have little of the experience of war which it has been the fortune of many soldiers to obtain. Not mine to take part in that first incredible retreat of our unweathered but heroic regular army. Not mine to advance with them from the Marne to the Aisne, or to withstand the horrors of the assault on Ypres. My knowledge of life under fire has been gained in a brief period on the Western Front, and a participation in those engagements with the Turks in Sinai which formed one of the brightest and most interesting episodes of the war. It is therefore very humbly that I put before the public what I have written. But, in some ways, perhaps even my inexperience in the more violent arts of modern war is an asset. For just as he who is new to a country is struck more vividly by what he observes than he who sees it every day, so one who comes fresh to a battlefield may note its daily details more acutely than one to whom they have become more or less ordinary affairs. Especially, I think, is that the case when one arrives, as I arrived in Flanders, not keyed up to an indefinite sojourn, but on a short visit. As I found, that tends to increase the strain on the nerves and to sharpen the senses of perception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
