Download or read book Old Soldiers Never Die written by Frank Richards and published by Rare Treasure Editions. This book was released on 2021-11-06T19:58:00Z with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was a reservist when the First World War broke out. He rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the D.C.M. and M.M. Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner. Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done. This is one of the finest of all published memoirs of the Great War, truly a classic of its kind. A tribute to the army that died on the Western Front.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Private In the summer of 1865 I first met Frank M. Mixson, the writer of these reminiscences. He was then a boy of eighteen summers, with four years of continuous service in the army of the Confederate States to his credit. In that depressing time, when the old civilization of the South had been prostrated by the cyclone of war, when every hope seemed forever gone from the sky of the darkened future, he was full of the steady, unflinching courage of the Confederate Veteran, looking with unwavering faith to the resurrection that loyalty to principle, trust in the right and confidence in the destiny of the Anglo Saxon would assure in the peace of the patient com ing years. Heroes of the Lost Cause were not then so scarce as now, and from time to time many of the older comrades of the boy soldier told me of his deeds of cool daring on the battle line, of mischievous life in the winter bound camps or on the weary march. And so the years passed, but they did not dim the memories of those who had touched elbows with him from Charleston to Appomattox.

Download or read book Stories of Our Soldiers written by Charles Carleton Coffin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Our Soldiers: War Reminiscences On the 19th of November, 1892, the Boston Journal began a series of war reminiscences by Carleton, the well-known war correspondent of the paper in the days of the Rebellion, and by the veteran soldiers of New England themselves. The desire of the paper has been to preserve those stories of individual heroism and adventure which have never been compiled for the formal histories, and to give to the generation grown up since the war a better idea of the personal sacrifices and brave deeds of our boys in blue than they could obtain from that war books, which deal so largely with general events and with general officers. The name which the Journal has always held as a stanch friend of the soldiers led at once to the expectation of a camp fire gathering which should be unique in size and interesting in character, and the expectation has been more than realized. Not only have hundreds of New England veterans, privates, captains, colonels and generals contributed their stories of experiences to swell the history, but the popular voice of appreciation greeting the work tells of its attractiveness. It does not seem right that these valuable personal records of the work of our New England soldiers should pass away without permanent publication, and the Journal, therefore, has prepared from the sketches already published a volume, of the leading articles, with a number of the supplementary articles, and Illustrated them with the pictures used in the Journal stories. These pictures are of particular value, as many of them can be found in no other place, the Journal having had them made especially for the reminiscences from war-time photographs loaned by the possessors. Taken in connection with the other war stories which continue to appear daily in the Journal (and which will run for months to come), this collection will prove of unique value to historians and of great interest to every patriotic man, woman and youth of New England. As illustrating the especial value of the work, it may be stated that in this volume is for the first time explained the real reason for the supposed unaccountable blunder at Ball's Bluff. The story of the much-discussed capture of Gen. Roger A. Pryor on the picket line is also told by an eye-witness, and this article caused the Southern papers to comment on its importance as relieving Gen. Pryor from Southern suspicion regarding his loyalty to the Confederates. The question, "Who was the youngest officer in the war?" is also established by interesting evidence within these pages. To the old soldier, and to the veteran of those exciting campaigns of thirty years ago, whether by land or by sea, in which they took so gallant a part, it is not necessary to recount the chronological sequence of the battles of the War of the Rebellion. To those who have come into being since the cross jack banner of secession was furled for all time at Appomattox, as well as to the youth of the rising generation, devoid of those memories, who is to be thrilled in the many after years to come by their relating, it is of interest to know that the opening gun of that great struggle was fired upon Fort Sumter, hi Charleston Harbor, in the early dawn of the 12th of April, 1861; that the flag of Sumter was lowered after high noon of the next day, and saluted by the devoted garrison.
