Book Description

Excerpt from A War Minister and His Work: Reminiscences of 1914-1918 When the world war broke out I closed my house in Deutsch-Eylan, and consigned my possessions to God's care. I went away to the war and, at first, my daughters went to stay with relations and acquaintances. When Deutsch-Eylan seemed threatened by the Russians my belongings were packed up by strangers, and sent to Berlin to be stored. My daughters went to join the nursing staff of the Army of the East, and my son fought against the Russians, while I was busily engaged with the French and English. We found ourselves without a home of any sort, but service to our Kaiser and country was sufficient compensation for everything.
