Excerpt from Canteening Overseas: 1917-1919 This little record of work - which was priv ilege; of sacrifice - which was unself-conscious; of Courage - which was a commonplace; and, most of all, of Beauty, which was just gallant en durance of more than one dull job; - this rec ord of what one Y. M. O. A. Worker did in France, is especially moving to me, because I was with her part of the time, and watched the ideal of Service unfold and blossom in her char acter. I am glad that her letters, telling so sim ply of the gay splendor of those dark days in France, have been gathered together in this little book.

A seventeen-volume compilation of selected AEF records gathered by Army historians during the interwar years. This collection in no way represents an exhaustive record of the Army's months in France, but it is certainly worthy of serious consideration and thoughtful review by students of military history and strategy and will serve as a useful jumping off point for any earnest scholarship on the war. --from Foreword by William A Stofft.
