Summary:
1919. With an historical appendix by Joyce Kilmer. From the Preface:
Battles are not fought by commanding officers alone, not even by
chaplains unaided; and the men who do the fighting usually get little
personal credit for their valor. My chronicle claims no merit save
that of being true. The only critics I had in mind while writing it
were those who fought in France. If they say that the pictures are
true, I am content. The diary style has been deliberately chosen
because it permits the introduction of incidents, and also lends
itself to the telling a plain unvarnished tale. Contents:
Preparations at Home; In Training Abroad; The Luneville Sector; The
Baccarat Sector; The Champagne Defensive; The Battle of the Ourcq;
After the Battle; The St. Mihiel Offensive; The Argonne Offensive;
and With the Army of Occupation.
