Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""I venture to express the opinion that the simple, direct and soldierly style in which Mr. Harold Harvey has written the notes that accompany his illustrations will be appreciated. His reticence as regards his own doings, the casual nature of his references-where they could not be avoided-to his personal share in great achievements, manifest a spirit of self-effacement that is characteristic of the men of the army in which he fought; men whose like the world has never known."" ""Sketched in circumstances that certainly had their own disadvantages as well as their special advantages, I present these drawings only for what they are.""

It was my practice in ""writing home"" to touch upon different features of the campaign or of my daily experiences, and only when I returned to England to find that kind hands had carefully preserved these hurried letters, did it occur to me that, grouped together, they might serve to throw some light on certain aspects of the East Africa campaign, which might not find a place in a more elaborate history.""

Book excerpt: "The letters that follow are those of a young painter who was at the front from September [1914] till the beginning of April [1915]; at the latter date he was missing in one of the battles of the Argonne. Are we to speak of him in the present tense or in the past? We know not: since the day when the last mud-stained paper reached them, announcing the attack in which he was to vanish, what a close weight of silence for those who during eight months lived upon these almost daily letters! But for how many women, how many mothers, is a grief like this to-day a common lot!"

Download or read book With Our Soldiers in France WWI Centenary Series written by Sherwood Eddy and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These brief sketches are only fragmentary and have of necessity been hastily written. The writer has been asked to state his impression of the work among the men in France. He did not go there to write but to work. He has tried simply to state what he saw and to leave the reader to draw his own conclusions. A mere statement of the grim facts at the front, if they are not sugar-coated or glossed over, may not be pleasant reading, but it is unfair to those at home that they should not know the hard truth of the reality of things as they are."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Only constant observation of civilian Judges and soldier witnesses could have shown me how fallible is the unaided military memory or have led me by three steps to a War Diary- (1) There is nothing certain about war except that one side won't win. (2) The winner is asked no questions-the loser has to answer for everything. (3) Soldiers think of nothing so little as failure and yet, to the extent of fixing intentions, orders, facts, dates firmly in their own minds, they ought to be prepared. Conclusion:-In war, keep your own counsel, preferably in a note-book."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""In the following chapters I have merely aimed at setting down, in simple language, a record of my impressions, so far as I can recall them, of what I have seen of many and varied phases of the Great Drama which has now been played to a finish on the other side of the English Channel. Most of those recollections were penned at odd moments, soon after the events chronicled, when they were still fresh in mind, often within range of the guns. It was my good fortune for two years to be one of the Official War Office Kinematographers. I was privileged to move about on the Western Front with considerable freedom. My actions were largely untrammelled; I had my instructions to carry out; my superiors to satisfy; my work to do; and I endeavoured to do all that has been required of me to the best of my ability, never thinking of the cost, or consequences, to myself of an adventure so long as I secured a pictorial record of the deeds of our heroic Army in France.""

Download or read book The Army Sketch Book written by Edwin Forbes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army Sketch Book: An Artist's Story of the War Special Artist with the Armies in the Field; Author of "Life Studies of the Great Army;" Centennial Exposition - Highest Art Award; Hon. Member of the London and of the French Etching Clubs, etc. When the Civil War broke out, one of the most brilliant and famous editors of New York said, "This war will absorb public attention and be the ruin of the newspapers." On the contrary, it was the making of the newspapers. The correspondents in the capital and in the field leaped to their opportunity, and suddenly developed elements of quickness, sagacity and comprehension that were potent factors of public education in all that the war was. Among those who won fame in that daring pursuit of information was a young artist whose graphic sketches and pictures in the very midst of the varied scenes of camp, march, hospital, bivouac and battlefield, made their reality familiar to the home public through the illustrated papers of the day, and whose accumulated material gave him in later years the means of vividly recalling those exciting times in a series of forty large etchings, published as "Life Studies of the Great Army." It was no small honor to Edwin Forbes, when the International Art Commission at our Centennial Exposition of 1876 gave to him the highest award in their power, privately expressing their wonder that one man should have been able to produce such a splendid array of artistic plates; and this was followed by unsought honorary memberships of the foreign Etching Clubs. What is perhaps of even more interest to us in these present days, is the strong and uniform witness of men to whom every phase of army life in that war was familiar, that Forbes' pictures are in very truth "life studies," and reproduce with startling realism the almost forgotten minutæ of the scenes they portray - the beauty, the fun, the tragedy and comedy, the brightness and dullness, the gayety and the toil, the infinite variety of picturesque fact in all arms of the service. The series of large etchings, of course, are on the United States War Office walls, but they are only a small part of his interesting material.
