Book Description

Excerpt from Canteening Overseas: 1917-1919 This little record of work - which was priv ilege; of sacrifice - which was unself-conscious; of Courage - which was a commonplace; and, most of all, of Beauty, which was just gallant en durance of more than one dull job; - this rec ord of what one Y. M. O. A. Worker did in France, is especially moving to me, because I was with her part of the time, and watched the ideal of Service unfold and blossom in her char acter. I am glad that her letters, telling so sim ply of the gay splendor of those dark days in France, have been gathered together in this little book.
