This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. To read this combined collection from the diary of Captain Henry Evans is to relive with him an important era in his life. Each page reflects his integrity, intelligence, courage and delightful sense of humor.

Evans' account provides a good representative example of the experiences of a typical AEF field artillery officer appointed from civilian life. His unit, the 1st Division, participated in both the first American combat actions and was the spearhead of the AEF attack in the Argonne advance when the war ended. Evans served as a battery officer, battery commander, and liaison officer. Although his experience of direct combat was relatively limited, Evans' position in the artillery gave him a broader view of the nature of combat in the First World War. Evans' account provides a welcome and worthy perspective on the experience of a patriotic young American who was determined to help defeat the Kaiser.
