Excerpt from On the Western Front: German Cruelties in France and Belgium In writing these pages, I have aimed to place the truth and that alone; therefore, I am writing the true chronological record of the Fifth U. S. A. Evacuation Hospital, from its formative period, November 18th and 19th, 1917, at the U. S. Government Medical Training Camp, at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., up to the closing scenes of this medical unit, and the mustering out of its personnel, at several camps, including Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y.; Camp Dix, New Jersey; Camp Devens, Massachusetts; Camp Sherman, Ohio, and several other Western camps. First of all, those who are interested in the world's greatest war, will find food for thought; but - you will not find any fiction. This, I endeavored to avoid. I aim to make these lines so they will be interesting to all. First of all, we are non-combating troops. We did not return to America, the greatest nation of the world, with framed-up stories. "How we went over the top." Position At The Front. We were compelled to take a position at the front ("In the War Zone") about four miles from the firing line. Those who have only a vague idea of distance may say it was far enough back, but for the benefit of those who entertain this thought, should have been with us at Sery-Magneval, near Crepy, France, Chateau-Thierry and Villers-Cotterets, and Soissons (Swi-Sawn) front. At these places, the German night air raiders hovered like a vulture (after prey) over us and dropped plenty of big bombs every favorable night ("When it wasn't raining"; they could not see well to fly when raining). The bombing periods usually lasted from fifteen minutes to half an hour. Enemy aeroplanes, bombing machines, appeared all hours of the night, and made it very uncomfortable for us. However, we grew hardened to the horrible sound of the Hun motor ("like a huge bee"). After a short time at the front, the sound of the Hun motor meant only a warning to us. It was the bombs they dropped that counted. While we were on several different fronts in France, from what we learned while operating in "No Man's Land" in Belgium, we were the only Evacuation Hospital on the Belgium Front in West Flanders. We were in active service, located at the "Blown Down Town" of Staden, Belgium, when the armistice was granted; firing ceased by the American batteries at 11 o'clock p. m. French time (five hours' difference in U. S. time), 6 o'clock Washington time. I have written this book chiefly for an "After the war livelihood." In addition to the chronological record of the Fifth Evacuation Hospital under canvas, you will also find a chronological record of the world's greatest war, which you will find not only interesting, but educational. You will find things of a personal character within the book, but you will find them interesting. I have taken them from my journal or diary of events that happened to me and objects that I saw, and of characters that I conversed with from time to time.

Through the Hindenburg Line by Frederick Arthur McKenzie Pdf
Excerpt from Through the Hindenburg Line: Crowning Days on the Western Front I write of Canada in arms. War has brought the Dominion and the rest of the Empire together as never before. It has opened a new era in our relations with America. It has given deeper meaning to our kinship with France Canadians recognise that the glory of Canada in this war is but part of the common whole. We know the great things that Britain has done. Our men have fought side by side with West Kents and Buffs, Gordons and Seaforths, Borderers and Naval Brigade. Our dead lie in common graves from Passchendaele to the Somme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque Pdf
A hardcover edition of the classic tale of a young soldier's harrowing experiences in the trenches, widely acclaimed as the greatest war novel of all time—featuring an Introduction by historian Norman Stone. Now a Netflix Film. When twenty-year-old Paul Bäumer and his classmates enlist in the German army during World War I, they are full of youthful enthusiam. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught to believe in shatters under the first brutal bombardment in the trenches. Through the ensuing years of horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another. Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel not only portrays in vivid detail the combatants' physical and mental trauma, but dramatizes as well the tragic detachment from civilian life felt by many upon returning home. Remarque's stated intention—“to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war"—remains as powerful and relevant as ever, a century after that conflict's end." Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
A Soldier of France to His Mother by Theodore Stanton Pdf
Excerpt from A Soldier of France to His Mother: Letters From the Trenches on the Western Front Love is one of the words which return the most often in this correspondence - love of the fields and the plains, of the trees and the stars, of the little animals of the meadows, in a word, of all things, animate and inanimate, of sky and earth; love, too, of the living and the dead, whether friend or foe.

Excerpt from Letters to Helen: Impressions of an Artist on the Western Front But when the pictures were brought back from France it was suggested that they should be reproduced, and a book evolved. Then a certain person (who shall be nameless) conceived the dastardly idea of exposing private correspondence to the public eye. He proved wilful in the matter, and this book came into the world.

Notes of a Camp-Follower, on the Western Front (Classic Reprint) by E. W. Hornung Pdf
Excerpt from Notes of a Camp-Follower, on the Western Front The hut - leader ushered me on board with the courtesy of a young commander inducting an elderly new mate; the difierence was that I had all the ropes to learn, with the possible exception of one he had already shown me on our way from the local headquarters of the The battered town was full of English soldiers, to whom indeed it owed its continued existence on the right side of the Line. In the gathering twilight, and the deeper shade of beetling ruins, most of them saluted either my leader's British warm, or my own voluminous trench-coat (with fleece lining) on the supposition of officers within. Left to myself, I should have done the wrong thing every time. It is expressly out of order for a camp-follower to give or take salutes. Yet what is he to do, when he gets a beauty from one whose boots he is unfit to black My leader had been showing me, with a pleasant nod and a genial civilian gesture, easier to emulate than to acquire.

Five Children on the Western Front by Kate Saunders Pdf
An epic, heart-wrenching follow-on from E. Nesbit's Five Children and It stories. The five children have grown up and World War I has begun in earnest. Cyril is off to fight, Anthea is at art college, Robert is a Cambridge scholar and Jane is at high school. The Lamb is the grown up age of 11, and he has a little sister, Edith, in tow. The sand fairy has become a creature of stories ... until, for the first time in 10 years, he suddenly reappears. The siblings are pleased to have something to take their minds off the war, but this time the Psammead is here for a reason, and his magic might have a more serious purpose. Before this last adventure ends, all will be changed, and the two younger children will have seen the Great War from every possible viewpoint - factory-workers, soldiers and sailors, nurses and ambulance drivers, and the people left at home, and the war's impact will be felt right at the heart of their family.
Originally published in 1920, The Storm of Steel is a first-hand account of World War I trench combat lifted from the diaries of Ernst Jünger, a German infantryman who would become one of Europe's most talented writers. The book was first translated into English in 1929 by Basil Creighton, the acclaimed translator of many other classic works of German literature, and was widely hailed as a masterpiece. The Storm of Steel remains the definitive account of World War I, following Jünger through several major engagements as he develops from an eager young soldier into a battle-hardened officer. Subsequent revisions by the author removed many of the original editions' vivid descriptions of battle, along with his reflections on leadership, patriotism, and the nature of heroism, while later translations failed to compare to the original's compelling and readable prose. The original translation eventually fell out-of-print, and is now being made available for the first time in decades to allow a new generation of readers to experience the classic that introduced millions to one of Europe's greatest voices.
Praised by the Chicago Sun-Times for its “furious, indignant power,” this story offers a rare, funny, bitter, and feminist look at war. First published in London in 1930, Not So Quiet... (on the Western Front) describes a group of British women ambulance drivers on the French front lines during World War I, surviving shell fire, cold, and their punishing commandant, "Mrs. Bitch." The novel takes the guise of an autobiography by Smith, pseudonym for Evadne Price. The novel's power comes from Smith's outrage at the senselessness of war, at her country's complacent patriotism, and her own daily contact with the suffering and the wounded.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Brian Murdoch Pdf
Essay selections include a comparison of All Quiet on the Western Front to Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, a comprehensive survey of the novel's popular and critical reception, an examination of the novel's often overlooked subtleties of tone, characterization, and plot, and Remarque's startling direct style and his relevance to twenty-first-century readers. Previously published essays offer a close reading of the novel and its themes of comradeship, and the devastating effects of war on those who live through them as well as an account of the production and reception of the 1930 film adaptation.
