Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elmira College Stories If we had know there was to be a Great War, then we should have known that this preface would be written, for the highest-hearted ever go to sacrifice. When the call came to Eugenia Diven, her heart answered it before the way was made ready for her feet. After devoted service at home, she went to France. And with the Seventh Division, A. E. F., in the villages of Minorville and Burey-en-Vaux, in the Toul sector, and Aigne, in the Le Mans area, she gave of her strength to the uttermost. It was a very happy giving. To a regiment of doughboys she was "Gene." She loved them all. She was proud of them, and to be with them. She loved the beauty of France. "There are lilacs everywhere," she wrote,"hedges of yellow honey-locust and of wistaria, rhododendrons, peonies, fields of poppies - this part of France in the month of May is so beautiful it hurts." The sacrifice was willing. Before sailing she said once: "I don´t want to sound ´heroic,´ but if anything should happen to me, it really would be all right."
