Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Achievements of the Fort Sheridan Officers' Training Camps Thanks are first due to the officers and directors of the Fort Sheridan Association, that organization born of necessity during the Second Camp, for the broad and liberal aid which made this book possible. To the mothers and fathers of the lads who Went West. The Fort Sheridan Association presents a copy; and to every member of the Association a volume will be donated. The cost of which comes out of the Association treasury. Mrs. Chester M. Macchesney. Director of the Home Service Department of the Fort Sheridan Association, has patiently and faithfully gathered photo graphs and data covering the records of the Roll of Honor. Colonel Halsted Dorey, who commanded the Fourth infantry overseas, and who, under the direction of major-general Leonard Wood, was one of the most indefatigable workers for training camps throughout the United States, has aided the work with a short synopsis of the Training Camp Movement. To Myron E. Adams, who, more than any other man, has made the Fort Sheridan Association what it is today, and who. As Director of Morale during the Second Training Camp, did so much to keep up the spirit of clean sports and healthy recreation and, as executive secretary of the Fort Sheridan Association, carried on the great work of the organization while the members were in service, the compiler is greatly indebted for the cheerful co-operation given. To Waldo M. Allen, a member of the First Battery of the First Camp, for his descriptive word picture of the First Training Camp.

Download or read book The School of Hard Knocks written by Richard S. Faulkner and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-09 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new history of the development of a leadership corps of officers during World War I opens with a gripping narrative of the battlefield heroism of Cpl. Alvin York, juxtaposed with the death of Pvt. Charles Clement less than two kilometers away. Clement had been a captain and an example of what a good officer should be in the years just before the beginning of the war. His subsequent failure as an officer and his redemption through death in combat embody the question that lies at the heart of this comprehensive and exhaustively researched book: What were the faults of US military policy regarding the training of officers during the Great War? In The School of Hard Knocks, Richard S. Faulkner carefully considers the selection and training process for officers during the years prior to and throughout the First World War. He then moves into the replacement of those officers due to attrition, ultimately discussing the relationship between the leadership corps and the men they commanded. Replete with primary documentary evidence including reports by the War Department during and subsequent to the war, letters from the officers detailing their concerns with the training methods, and communiqués from the leaders of the training facilities to the civilian leadership, The School of Hard Knocks makes a compelling case while presenting a clear, highly readable, no-nonsense account of the shortfalls in officer training that contributed to the high death toll suffered by the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I.

Download or read book First Over There written by Matthew J. Davenport and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting true story of America's first modern military battle, its first military victory during World War One, and its first steps onto the world stage At first light on Tuesday, May 28th, 1918, waves of American riflemen from the U.S. Army's 1st Division climbed from their trenches, charged across the shell-scarred French dirt of no-man's-land, and captured the hilltop village of Cantigny from the grip of the German Army. Those who survived the enemy machine-gun fire and hand-to-hand fighting held on for the next two days and nights in shallow foxholes under the sting of mustard gas and crushing steel of artillery fire. Thirteen months after the United States entered World War I, these 3,500 soldiers became the first "doughboys" to enter the fight. The operation, the first American attack ever supported by tanks, airplanes, and modern artillery, was ordered by the leader of America's forces in Europe, General John "Black Jack" Pershing, and planned by a young staff officer, Lieutenant Colonel George C. Marshall, who would fill the lead role in World War II twenty-six years later. Drawing on the letters, diaries, and reports by the men themselves, Matthew J. Davenport's First Over There tells the inspiring, untold story of these soldiers and their journey to victory on the Western Front in the Battle of Cantigny. The first American battle of the "war to end all wars" would mark not only its first victory abroad, but the birth of its modern Army.
