Excerpt from The New Spirit of the New Army: A Message to the "Service Flag" Homes
Camp Hancock is by no means unique in the quality that inspired this expression of praise. The training camps that are fitting our men, both of the army and navy, to fight for the cause of democracy are builders of moral as well as physical stamina.
These chapters interested me greatly when in part they first appeared in The Outlook, for I found in them a complete understand ing Of the work Of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the efforts of the U.S. Army during the early years of the First World War to combat the rampant immorality and vice that plagued the troops during their training, which directly affected unit cohesion, morale, and readiness, as well as the health and safety of the troops. The author, a former chaplain to a National Guard regiment, details the changes he personally witnessed and the steps taken at his former unit, the 13th Pennsylvania Infantry, to provide positive outlets for leisure time within the camps and nearby communities so that the soldiers would not seek out the customary vices available to soldiers. This book further details how this was part of a broader effort of the entire U.S. Army coordinated by the Commission on Training Camp Activities.
