This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universal Military Service and Democracy It is natural that in the staff of the army not only younger active officers, but likewise experienced strategists, should feel the need of turning to account the efficiency of the troops led by them, and their own capacity to lead, and of making them prominent in history. It would be a matter of regret if this effect of the military spirit did not exist in the army; the task of keeping its results within such limits at the nations need of peace can justly claim, is the duty of the political, not the mili tary, heads of the state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Active Service Although the writer's endeavors have been varied and experiences unusual, they have in no way justified belief in his fitness to write a book. Many friends have, from time to time in more than thirty years, admonished me that my inditing, in permanent record, incidents which had come within my personal experience and knowledge, was a duty I owed to them, to the public, and to the correct presentation of certain historic data of importance. Henry Watterson, my comrade and life-long and loyal friend, has demanded of me that I go along and write.

Download or read book Scenes From the Life of a Soldier in Active Service Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From the Life of a Soldier in Active Service The narrative of Mr. Hacklander first appeared in the shape of letters, addressed from day to day, during the Italian campaign of 1849, to the Allgemez'ne Zeitung. In this anonymous and nu connected form it appeared to me worthy of communication to the English reader, and I had made some progress in collecting and translating the series, when the narrative reached me in the collective and completed shape in which it has been recently republished by its author; and from which the present translation has in consequence been prepared. I have taken some liberties in the omission of one or two oficial documents whicl'l have long been before the public, and of some other passages, for which, as also for occasional departures from literal and idiomatic accuracy of translation, I have to apologise to the author and possibly to my readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

Download or read book Active Service Vol 6 written by W. R. Maltby and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Active Service, Vol. 6: The Share of the Non-Combatant Great Britain is engaged in a war from which, as we believe, there was offered to our nation no honourable way of escape. The desire of all who love their country is to serve it in the hour of its need, and so to live and labour that those who have fallen in its service may not have died in vain. While this may suffice to make immediate duty clear, the war remains in the deepest sense a challenge to Christian thought. The present bitter struggle between nations which for centuries have borne the Christian name, indicates some deep-seated failure to understand the principles of Christ and to apply them to human affairs. This series of papers embodies an attempt to reach, by common thought, discussion, and prayer, a truer understanding of the meaning of Christianity and of the mission of the Church to the individual, to society, and to the world. Those who are promoting the issue of these papers are drawn from different political parties and different Christian bodies. They believe that the truth they seek can be attained only providing for a measure of diversity in expression. Therefore they do not accept responsibility for the opinions of any paper taken alone. But in spirit they are united, for they are one in the conviction that in Christ and in His Gospel lies the hope of redemption and health for society and for national life.

Hence a large per centage of one 's life at the front is spent under similar conditions to those prevail ing in a military practice camp. Perhaps conditions will change. I have had the honor of addressing young officers and men here preparing for active service, and have followed informal lines, giving straight tips about the things that struck me more forcibly in training and at the front. In this book I have fol lowed similar lines. This and the fact of my having to work under pressure in the preparation of the manuscript will explain its informal treatment.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Field Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac Classic Reprint written by William Warren Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Field-Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac It is the purpose of the writer in these pages, kindly allotted to the consideration of this interesting phase of army life, to give a succinct account of the field-hospital system of the Army of the Potomac, based upon his experiences of three years service as a medical officer in that army. Minute detail cannot, of course, be entered into within the necessarily narrow limits of a magazine article, - only distinctive features grouped and portrayed in outline. If it were necessary to seek a raison d'etre for the appearance of such an article at this time, when so much is being written about the war and its conduct, it could readily be found in the fact that, so far, only officers of the line have figured in conspicuous prominence, as having achieved renown in the military service. It is an undeniable fact that the medical department of the army was very near the hearts of the millions of patriotic people who, while compelled to remain at home, contributed, with lavish hands, their means and substance toward the successful prosecution of the war. It is presumed that many of these will be interested to know something more of the manner of caring for the sick and wounded, in active service and on the field, than can be gleaned from ordinary or even official sources. The writer served in the various capacities of Assistant Surgeon, and Surgeon on duty with the troops, and as Recorder of the Second Division Hospital, in the Sixth Army Corps; also, as assistant to Chief Operator, as Chief Operator, and as Surgeon-in-Charge of a division field hospital in the Second Army Corps, holding the latter place for more than a year. This statement is made that his opportunities for knowledge as to the working of the system may be understood, and the value of his judgment thereupon properly estimated. An army in the field is, at once, confronted with the difficult problem of properly caring for its sick and wounded, - a question second only in importance to the ever-present one of feeding it. The difficulties increase in a manifold degree if, as was chiefly the case with the Army of the Potomac, the field of operations lies in an enemy's country.

I was accordingly over fifty two years on the active list. It was a great gratification to me to be able to celebrate my fiftieth anniversary of entry into the Navy while still on active service in high command, an experience which can naturally fall to the lot of few Naval, and of still fewer Military officers.
