The moving and eloquent letters of a young American soldier
fighting in the maelstrom of the Western Front in World War One are
an uplifting example of the human spirit. Published in 1919, less
than a year after the terrible conflict ended, this book is an
amalgamation of a series of letters written by a young soldier.
Addressing his mother with well-mannered affection and devotion,
the author describes the conditions on the front; his fond memories
of childhood; his fellow company of soldiers; and the auxiliary and
medical support. Brimming with youthful exuberance and confidence,
the author demonstrates a gift for words and poetic eloquence,
alluding on occasion to the great writers he'd read. Convinced of
the eternal and undying power of the human struggle, a memorable
reflection of this brave soldier runs as follows: "There is no
death. Life goes on without hindrance or handicap. The one thing
that troubles the men who come here is the fact that the ones that
loved them are in agony."
