A Fatalist At War Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Under Fire: With the 370th Infantry (8th I. N. G.) A. E. F.; Memoirs of the World War This book is not intended for general circulation, but for distribution among the members and friends of Berean, that it may be preserved for their children who in turn may know of the part played by this church in the great World War. How that for two years a loyal church and people carried on, while their leader and loved ones were fighting "Over There" that all men might be "Up," not "Some Men Down." To preserve intact the letters that the pastor wrote during the lull of battle, or while resting on the march toward the Rhine, and thus acquaint the folks at home of the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows of their sons and husbands, as they marched toward victory. We claim no literary genius for this book. It is not written as a treatise on the war - but a simple narration of facts pertaining to the part played by the men of the 8th (370th) U. S. Infantry, composed largely of men from Berean Baptist Church and Congregation. We endeavor to show by concrete facts how despite the hardships and handicap of prejudice these men emerged from the World's great battle fields of Europe the most decorated Regiment in the A. E. F. Hence in reading the following pages look not to find aught save the plain unvarnished story of the dangers through which we successfully passed - the hardships we endured, and our ultimate victory.
