Excerpt from How to Live at the Front: Tips for American Soldiers
Generally it is a small percentage of the men in an army who are actually grap pling with the enemy. Hence a large per centage of one 's life at the front is spent under similar conditions to those prevail ing in a military practice camp. Perhaps conditions will change.
I have had the honor of addressing young officers and men here preparing for active service, and have followed informal lines, giving straight tips about the things that struck me more forcibly in training and at the front. In this book I have fol lowed similar lines. This and the fact of my having to work under pressure in the preparation of the manuscript will explain its informal treatment.
