This Is A New Release Of The Original 1917 Edition.
1917. Huard's autobiography, accompanied by illustrations drawn by
her husband, an official French war artist. An excerpt from the
book reads: It was an exciting trip, that race for life and
death-for every moment I knew my wounded boy was growing weaker,
and every convulsive kick meant the disappearance of so much life
blood. During the numerous adventures which befell us between the
time we left Jouy-le-Chatel and our encountering the motor, my
hypodermic needle had received such violent treatment that it
refused service. So when we turned into Mormont at top speed, I was
obliged to ask my driver to slow down and inquire for a doctor.

Nothing, I think, could have been farther from thoughts than the
idea of war. Our May Wilson Preston, the artist; Mrs. Chase, the
editor of a well-known woman's magazine; Hugues Delorme, the French
artist; and numerous other guests, discussed the theatre and the
"Caillaux case" from every conceivable point of view, and their
conversations were only interrupted by serious attempts to prove
their national superiority at bridge, and long delightful walks in
the park.
