Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War Against Germany, Vol. 2 In the reading of each volume of these memoirs of the men whose names are inscribed on the Harvard Roll of Honor a statement from the Preface to the first volume should be remembered. It is as follows: "There has deliberately been no attempt to 'standardize' the memoirs with respect either to length or to character. It has seemed better simply to make in each instance what could be made, within reasonable bounds, of the material at hand. Every effort has been put forth to secure equal supplies of material from all sources, but without success. This will explain in some measure the varying lengths of the memoirs that follow." The first volume dealt with the thirty men who died before the United States entered the war. This volume contains memoirs of the fifty-one who died within one year from April 6, 1917.
