About This Book

A sequence of first-hand vignettes by a wartime relief worker portrays life at sea and on the front, from storm-tossed troop transports and hymn-singing gun-decks to trench routines, gas wards, field hospitals, and encounters with civilians and allies. It records spiritual moments, acts of service and sacrifice, quiet suffering, and small highlights of humor and courage, organized into themed sketches and illustrated scenes that aim to convey the emotional realities of men at war and the work of chaplains and volunteers supporting them.
