Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Service One of the distressing after-effects of the war will be the number of books which will be written by the soldiers who took part in it. I have no desire to be numbered among those who will attempt to inflict their views and personal experiences on the public, but I remember how keenly I have been interested in the military papers of my father and how much I regret the loss by shipwreck of the major portion of his service records. That he left no permanent record of his many unusual experiences in the field, his interviews with Lincoln, Grant and other public men and his experiences while on staff duty in Washington during the Civil War, is likewise unfortunate for those are tales which in the interest of accuracy should not be handed down by word of mouth. In the hope, therefore, that my children may be glad to have this account of my experiences in France, England and in this country during the World War, I have prepared this memorandum. Being an account of my personal doings and not a literary effort, the personal pronoun must of necessity be prominent and I make no apology for its frequent appearance.
