Excerpt from Cheerio!
American Expeditionary Force. Before the troops of the line had their sailing orders the Medical Corps was active in the field and behind the lines. And as they are deprived in some measure from sharing in the full glory of their comrades in the fighting units let such credit as they have earned be theirs in all its fulness.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the author's initiation into the world of war as a medical officer with the British Expeditionary Force in France during World War I. It's a journey of bravery and humanity against the backdrop of some of the most challenging times in human history when the world's very humanity hung in the balance. At the onset of war, the author feels fear but maintains composure amidst the chaos. His empathy towards the wounded and his admiration for their courage and resilience in the face of adversity drive the narrative. He describes the camaraderie among fellow officers, the horror of seeing men killed and maimed, and the terrible conditions they found themselves in. Along the way, he questions the very nature of war, its purpose, and the ultimate cost. What is remarkable from this book is not just the vivid descriptions of war but the author's humanity and humor. This book is about more than just battles and tactics; it's about the people who lived through them and the stories that need to be told. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
