Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Section Sixty-One: Selections From Letters of Henry S. Kingman, Member S. S. A. U. 61, Norton Harjes Ambulance Corps; May to October, 1917 Today is one of those beautiful clear days with a good sea running, while there is plenty of excitement. You see we are closing in on the war zone and things are getting tense. Yesterday afternoon, three or four ships were on the horizon and that gives much opportunity for speculation and exercise of the imagination. We crowd the rails and wonder what the ships are while no doubt the Captain has determined their character long before we´ve even seen them. We fly no flags, our name is not on the ship - no mark of identification. Three hundred miles more and we shall be in the war zone and from there in, across the Bay of Biscay, it will be exciting. Today there is to be a lifeboat drill and the lifeboats are the chief object of interest. They are fourteen strong and all swing out ready for use - while we show up at 3 o´clock, with life-belts ready for a drill whatever it may be. I hope by Tuesday you will be having a cable from us of our arrival and your longest period of waiting for news will be over.
