A Padre in France
Author: George A. BirminghamPublisher: DigiCat

Category : Fiction

Pages : 155
Book Description
The case is very different behind the lines. There, indeed, we see the seamy side of war. There are the men who, in some way or other, have secured and keep safe jobs, the embusqués whom the French newspapers constantly denounce. There are the officers who have failed, proved unfit for command, shown themselves lacking in courage perhaps, and in mercy have been sent down to some safe base. There are the men who have been broken in spirit as well as in body, who drag on an existence utterly dull, very toilsome, well-nigh hopeless, and are illuminated by no high call for heroic deeds. There the observer sees whatever there is to be seen of petty spite and jealousies, the manipulating of jobs, the dodging of regulations, all that is most ignoble in the soldier's trade. There also are the men with grievances, who, in their own estimation, are fit for posts quite other than those they hold. Some one described war at the front as an affair of months of boredom punctuated by moments of terror. If that philosopher had been stationed at a base he might have halved his epigram and described war as months of boredom unpunctuated even by terror.

Pages : 211
Book Description
Told in the Huts is an illustrated book of personal contributions from soldiers and war workers, and was originally published in 1916 “for the benefit of the Y.M.C.A. Active Service Campaign amongst our Soldiers, Sailors & Munition Workers, in all parts of the world.” Little has been compiled about the role the YMCA played in providing comfort and support to those involved in WWI conflicts, and that is why we chose to reproduce this wonderful book. We hope to provide an insight into the services provided by the YMCA in the trenches and the support provided to both civilians and servicemen. The book describes how individuals were involved and affected by war in this very touching and moving compilation of stories and poems.
