The writer of these letters is the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel
Marlborough Churchill, who, the year before the entrance of the United
States into the war, was an American military observer in France, and
later became a member of General Pershing's staff. Mrs. Churchill
volunteered her services in Paris in connection with the American Fund
for the French Wounded--"the A. F. F. W."--and these are her letters
home, written with no thought of publication, but simply to tell her
family of the work in which she was engaged.

War Poetry
Buddy's Blighty and other Verses from the Trenches
By LIEUTENANT JACK TURNER, M. C.
Here is a volume of poems that move the spirit to genuine emotion,
because every line pictures reality as the author knows it. The range of
subjects covers the many-sided life of the men who are fighting in the
Great War,--the happenings, the emotions, the give and take, the tragedy
and the comedy of soldiering.
"I have read Robert Service's 'Rhymes of a Red Cross Man'--and
_all_ the verses written on the war--but in my opinion 'Buddy's
Blighty,' by Jack Turner, is the best thing yet written--because
it's the truth."
_Private Harold R. Peat_
