Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paths of Glory: Impressions of War Written at and Near the Front I rather imagine I tried to think up some thing funny to say about the shabby grandeur of the gendarme or the acid flavor of the cooking vinegar sold at the drinking place under the name of wine; for that time I was supposed to be writing humorous articles on European travel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of War These articles, written from day to day, for the columns of the quebec daily telegraph, were commenced when the war was still at its height, but, happily, the great struggle had been Victoriously con cluded before the final chapter was written. It was not my intention, when I wrote the initial articles, to have prolonged the story to the length it has actually attained; but all I have written still conveys, but in meagre fashion, the tremendous impression made upon me by my visit to England and France last summer; if, however, my descrip tion of the experiences of the Canadian Newspaper Mis sion, as I felt them, give, in even a slight manner, a more adequate, understanding in this country of the efforts made by Britain and France in the Great War, it will not have been in vain. The attempt of Lord Beaver brook, - at that time British Minister of Information, to convey to Canada a more vivid comprehension of the undertakings of Britain and France, has not been, I believe, a futile one.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from After the Day: A Collection of Post-War Impressions Mention is made of his dramatic experiences because of their bearing upon this collection of verse After the Day, which he aptly des cribes as a series of post-war impressions, writ ten from the psychological viewpoint of a so] dier permanently maimed and confronted with a world of the physically fit, with whom he must continue to be a competitor. These after the day or nocturnal impressions were all written with a view to their being read aloud, and as dramatic reading they take on a singularly magnetic quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Impressions, Being a Record in Colour When my Father, home from the War, was showing to me the sketches he had made in South Africa, he told some interesting incident about almost every one of them; and it occurred to me that he was inadvertently providing material for a book. This volume is the result. I endeavoured to write down all he said; and I trust that what I have written is at least a faithful record. My skill in the Art of Letters is not nearly equal to my father's in the Graphic Art; yet I have done my best, and shall be well content if my share in this work is considered not altogether unworthy of the pictures, about which, surely, there can be no doubt at all!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Artilleryman: The Experiences and Impressions of an American Artillery Regiment in the World War It was an inspiring feature of the call to service when America entered the Great War that every part of the country at once responded with whole-hearted spirit, each making its characteristic contribution to the general cause. Of the men who at the first demand offered their serv ices, no more truly representative regiments were formed than those gathered in the heart of the Central West, which was at the same time the center of the great area known a little over a century before as New France, acquired in what we call the Louisiana Purchase.

Download or read book Verdun to the Vosges written by Gerald Campbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verdun to the Vosges: Impressions of the War on the Fortress Frontier of France It is a fact that not only the Germanophil but the Francophil Swiss were genuinely and deeply astonished when they learnt - from the official communique? That we intended to intervene in the war because the soil of Belgium had been invaded. When the thing was done they accepted it as a fact. They were bound to. But they did not anticipate it. They found it hard to believe that with an army, as they thought and they were not so far wrong - of only men, with nothing to gain and everything to lose, we would be so quixotic as to throw ourselves into a contest in which we were not directly concerned, and to send our contemptible little army (even smaller than their own) to fight in a foreign country the battles of another state against the overpowering military might of Germany. It is also a fact - and to me a still more astounding revelation - that a month after the war had begun there were people in France, and among them soldiers of high standing, who were honestly surprised at what we had already done in the war, as well as profoundly grateful, and who even then honestly doubted whether we really meant to put our backs into it to any purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light and Shade in War The authors of this book, father and son, have seen much of the Light and Shade of War during the past two years, the one as a War Correspondent in Egypt, Turkey and France, the other as a soldier, and, afterwards, as one of the staff of The Times. The day for writing the histories of our different campaigns is not yet. For the purposes of history delay is necessary, even though the gain in perspective may mean loss in colour. But there is a legitimate desire for the intimate and immediate impressions of the time, written down amid the ever-shifting scenes of the War itself. Such impressions will have some value now, and perhaps also in after years. Most of these sketches were written whilst the scenes and incidents they depict were fresh in the mind; some under fire. The proofs were corrected on the battlefield of the Somme in a tent over which British and German shells were passing at the time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War: Impressions and Reflections, Being Thoughts on Its Religious Aspects At different stages of the War this appeal has been brought home to us in special ways. First, there was the time of uncertainty, when it seemed possible that England would stand aloof from/the conflict and remain neutral, that she would refuse to recognise her obligations to her friends and in formal allies. In the autumn came the harvest, and with it a deepened sense of thankfulness, not only for the bounteous harvest given to us, but also for the security afforded us for the future, by our continued command of the sea.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of the Kaiser The fifth year of the Great War reveals the enor mity, but it does not yet disclose the denouement, of this crime; which has filled with grief and smit ten with poverty tens Of millions of homes, swept from the earth in the vigor of youth the ower of the manhood of several great nations, and leaves vast spaces scorched and blasted by the fires of devastation to be again rendered habitable by the labors of Old men, cripples, and half-famished chil dren. With such a scene spread out before the eyes of the civilized world, vituperation and invective are only signs of impotence. We cannot repair this calamity by denunciation. We cannot prevent its recurrence without suppressing its cause. The first necessity is to perceive wherein is to be found the root of this evil.

Download or read book Recent Experiences and Impressions in Russia Classic Reprint written by John Raleigh Mott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Experiences and Impressions in Russia Russia has called to the colors since the war began not less than men. This constitutes the largest army assembled by any one nation in the history of the world. Of this vast number it is estimated that fully have already been killed or have died as the result of wounds or diseases occasioned by the war. Another are today prisoners of war in Germany, austria-hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Another may. Be classified as permanently ineffective, chiefly those who have been seriously mutilated in warfare or shattered by disease. This leaves men as comprising the total strength of the Rus sian army of today. Some authorities whom I consulted give a somewhat lower figure, but more would place it even higher. Of this army of today probably are to be found in the seventy corps on the European front and the five on the Asiatic front; in the depots or reserves; in connection with garrisons and communications-athus leaving a little over in training, on leave or otherwise not immediately avail able for military operations, but potentially a most important asset. On this vast host of Russian men and boys rests the tre mendons responsibility of maintaining and pressing the war on the long drawn out eastern front. The effectiveness and faith fulness with which they perform this critical duty will determine, far more largely than we in America have realized, the extent of the exertions and sacrifices, and the laying down of life and substance, of the American people in connection with the great struggle. Whatever can be done, therefore to ensure and develop the highest working efficiency and truly triumphant spirit of the Russian soldiers has a most direct, practical, and vital bearing on the destiny of America and the other Allies. As a member ofthe Special Diplomatic Mission to Russia which had been charged by President Wilson with the responsibility of studying ways in which America and Russia might best cooperate in the war, I gave not a little attention, in accordance with the wish of our Chairman, Mr. Root, to the consideration of this large and press ing problem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of Personal Experiences and Impressions During a Residence on the Bosphorus Throughout the Crimean War Accordingly we embarked the following day, our party consisting of my husband and self, our two young Swedish friends, and a maid-servant, who promised to fulfil, and seemed capable of performing any duty that might be reasonably required of her. Amongst our compagnons de voyage were some eighteen or twenty Arabs, and as they kept to the distant part of the ship, we were not a little amused by watching them - nearer acquaintance might not have been so agreeable. The very perceptible chief of the party was a man of immense stature, three or four of the number were attendants, and the rest were women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America This book discusses the essential factors and issues in the European war and their meaning and import for America. The hour for an im personal account of the war has certainly not yet come, and may not come for a long while. What our time can contribute is the reflection of the great war in the minds of individuals. A story of memories and impressions, of fears and hopes, has to-day more inner truth than any history of the struggle apparently written with an historian 's coolness. This diary, therefore, views the events as they unfold themselves from week to week, from the angle of personal experiences.

Download or read book The Doctor s Part What Happens to the Wounded in War Classic Reprint written by James Robb Church and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctor's Part, What Happens to the Wounded in War These impressions of a Military Observer are the results of over two years spent by Colonel Church on the Western front as an Observer with our Allies and later on the Staff of the Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Force. His service of twenty years in our army, including duty on the Mexican border and with the First United States Volunteer Cavalry (Rough Riders), in the war with Spain where he won the Medal of Honor for gallantry under fire, well qualifies him for this important duty. The author has presented in non-technical language much information which will be of value to Medical and line officers as they go abroad on active duty with troops in France. The book will also be read with interest by the laity as Colonel Church has the happy faculty of presenting the human side of his experiences in an interesting manner. He has given us a glimpse of certain side lights of the great war not heretofore available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Italy: Impressions and Observations of an American Newspaper Man During the Early Months of the War Against Austria To the stranger within the city's gates it is a cheerful and apparently carefree crowd. There is nothing exceptional in evidence to indicate an extraordinary state of affairs in the country. To be sure, there is a liberal display of the national colors, and here and there one also sees the flag of Great Britain or of France or of Russia, and there is a rather unusual number of men in military uni forms; but as the uniforms all seem so natty and new, the day a holiday and Milan the headquarters of an army corps, even this fact might occasion no special comment.
