About This Book

A collection of eyewitness wartime sketches by a woman correspondent who travels to training camps, battlefronts, hospitals, and coastal ports, describing soldiers on parade, trench life, night raids, no man’s land, and air combat. She records encounters with military and civic leaders, the work of nurses and volunteer women, refugee suffering and maimed veterans, and the daily logistics of war. Interwoven reflections question the human cost and suggest practical ways for distant readers to aid relief efforts.
