Excerpt from Mud and Khaki: Sketches From Flanders and FranceNo words, then, can give an exact picture of these things, but they may help to give colour to your impressions. Heaven forbid that, by telling the horrors of war, the writers of books should make pessimists of those at home! Heaven forbid that they should be little the dangers and hardships, and so take away some of the glory due to Tommy for all he has suffered for the Motherland! There is a happy mean - the men at the front have found it they know that death is near, but they can still laugh and sing.In these sketches and stories I have tried, with but little success, to keep that happy mean in view. If the pictures are very feeble in design when compared to the many other, and far better, works on the same subject, remember, reader, that the intention is good, and accept, this apology for wasting your time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
