About This Book

A chaplain's diary-style account chronicles a single infantry regiment's mobilization, training, front-line service, and occupation period during the war. The narrative mixes immediate battlefield reports with personal anecdotes that convey everyday routines, religious observance, comradeship, humor, courage, and grief amid attacks and defenses across multiple sectors. Reflective passages highlight regimental esprit de corps and the chaplain's interaction with officers and enlisted men. The book also includes a historical appendix by a fellow soldier along with maps, unit records, citations, decorations, and appendices that document personnel and actions.
