Fighting in France

PREFACE

When the greatest war in the history of mankind rages in Europe it isnot only natural but right that every one should be interested.History is being made every day and heroism is displayed, unrivalled inany previous conflict. In this book the author has striven tochronicle some of the valorous deeds and to relate some of theincidents and events that are part of the everyday life of the soldierwho is fighting in France. It has been his aim to present the storydevoid of sensationalism and to weave nothing of the impossible intothe tale. Most of the episodes are founded on fact and while the bookis not historical it has its inspiration from actual happenings.
