Paperback, [EAN: 9781330620359], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], 2016-10-22, Forgotten Books, Excerpt from From Army Camps and Battlefields The author was chaplain of the 127th Infantry, 32nd Division, American Expeditionary Forces. He was in the service over twenty-two months in the World War, fifteen months of which was overseas, and was on duty on three battle fronts in France (the Alsace trench sector, the Aisne-Marne offensive, and the Oise-Aisne offensive), and in the Army of Occupation in Germany. He was wounded by enemy shrapnel fire July 12, 1918, in Badricourt, France, and after the battle of Juvigny, September 1, 1918, he was honored for gallantry in action, receiving the highest of the three grades of citations, signed by General Pershing. He preached to over 4,000 wounded soldiers at once, and buried fifty-one fallen soldiers in one day on the battle-field, under shell-fire. The letters were written to Church of the Ascension, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, of which the author is the pastor, and which granted him a leave of absence during the period of the war. Some of these letters were printed in the daily papers and attracted a great deal of attention. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians requested that the letters be printed in book form.
