Card Records in Use in the Bureau of Pensions, 1916 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Card Records in Use in the Bureau of Pensions, 1916 The card records in use in the Bureau of Pensions have grown to such proportions and serve such important yet different purposes that it is very desirable to have them published, both because of their great value to the employees of the bureau, who are required to make daily use of the information contained therein, and also because of their importance to the general public as an index to vast and varied information. The work for this purpose has been very carefully performed by the following employees of the bureau, namely, Mr. Charles M. Yeates, Mr. Thomas R. Raines, Mr. George Scharf, and Mr. Alexander K. Meek, who acted under the personal direction of the commissioner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

George C. Marshall was an American military leader, Chief of Staff of the Army, Secretary of State, and the third Secretary of Defense. Once noted as the "organizer of victory" by Winston Churchill for his leadership of the Allied victory in World War II, Marshall served as the United States Army Chief of Staff during the war and as the chief military adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As Secretary of State, his name was given to the Marshall Plan, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. He drafted this manuscript while he was in Washington, D.C., between 1919 and 1924 as aide-de-camp to General of the Armies John J. Pershing. However, given the growing bitterness of the "memoirs wars" of the period he decided against publication, and the draft sat unused until the 1970s when Marshall's step-daughter and her husband decided to publish it.
