Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary-Letters of Sergt; Peyton Randolph Campbell On Wednesday, September 4, 1918, near Fismes, on the Vesle River, in France, a Hun shell landed in the midst of the machine gun unit of which Sergt. Peyton Randolph Campbell was a part, taking seventeen men, including "Randy" or "Pete" as he was affectionately called. Entering Company D, 306th Machine Gun Battalion, as a private in the spring of 1918, "Randy" was soon promoted to Corporal, and a few days prior to his untimely death was made a Sergeant. Although only twenty-four years of age, he was old in the experience of his craft and was known as a master advertising man, having held the position of Assistant Advertising Manager of Pratt & Lambert-Inc. He will long be remembered in Buffalo as the writer of many of the most effective Second Liberty Loan newspaper advertisements, particularly the facsimile newspaper front page, announcing the supposed invasion of this Country by the Germans. Subsequently, in a letter describing his experiences, he feelingly wrote: "What Fourth Liberty Loan copy I could write now!" Despite his youth, Sergeant Campbell had also attained no small success as a short-story and song writer. His talents were varied and manifold, which makes his loss the more keenly felt by the many who knew him. "Randy´s" sunny disposition and friendship, with which he was so generous, won him many friends who will find in these pages characteristic touches of humor and philosophy.
