Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the 139th Infantry When the History Committee of the 139th Infantry put the production of this book into the hands of the Guard Publishing Company early in September, 1919, that company arranged with me to write it. Many difficulties have arisen in the collection of data, principally through my inability to obtain the regimental records. Officers and men of the regiment have resumed their civilian pursuits and some of them have wandered far afield since they were discharged from the army, so far indeed that letters and telegrams are unanswered. The Regimental History, which would have been of great assistance, has not been found. Such officers and men as I have been able to get in touch with have been most kind and helpful, and whatever value the book has is due to them. I am fully aware that the narrative given here does not do justice to the fine regiment with which it deals, but no book could do that. The great bravery of these men, the grim persistence, the fortitude in the face of great odds, have made for them a fame which should live forever. My poor words cannot add to their glory. All I can hope to do is briefly to tell their story and off er a book which will preserve the pictures of these gallant men in the uniforms they wore with so much honor on the fields of France.
