A Soldier S Mother In France Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Soldier's Mother in France On the lapel of my coat I wear a little pin, a pin with a single star, ruby red on a bar of white. My only son is a member of the American Expeditionary Force in France. More than a million American women wear pins like mine. Some have two stars, three, even four, and every one covers a heart heavy with anxiety and foreboding. That little service pin which mothers wear, fathers, too; sisters, sweethearts, wives, is a symbol of sacrifice. It should be something more than that My star has come to mean love of country far surpassing the mild patriotism of other days. It means confidence and courage for whatever in these tragic times I shall need courage. It means pride in the young manhood of America and hope unbounded for the future of America, which lies in their hands. Before I went to France I wore my service pin for one soldier - my son.

The story of a renowned French painter who volunteered for the Army during the First World War paints a vivid picture of the horror at the front in his letters home written before his death in 1915. “A Bestseller, remarkable for the horrors of the western front conveyed in a spirit of self-sacrifice and filial love.”- A Companion to World War One ed. John Horne, Blackwell Publishing, 2012 “THE following letters were written by a young French painter who was at the front until the beginning of April, 1915, when he “disappeared” in one of the combats in the Argonne region of France. “Should he be spoken of in the present or in the past?” asks M. André Chevrillon , a friend of the soldier’s family, in the preface to the French edition of this book. “Since the day when his mother and grandmother received from him his last communication, a post card bespattered with mud which announced the attack in which he fell, what a tragic silence for these two women who, during eight months, had lived only with these letters, which came almost daily. In his studio, among the pictures in which this young man had fixed his dreams and his visions of an artist, I have seen, piously arranged on a table, all the little square white sheets of this correspondence. What a speechless presence! I did not know then what a soul was there transcribed in these messages to the family hearth - a fully formed soul, which, if it had lived, I feel sure would have spread its fame and its influence far beyond this little home circle and radiated a-wide among the hearts of men.””

Excerpt from A Soldier of France to His Mother: Letters From the Trenches on the Western Front Love is one of the words which return the most often in this correspondence - love of the fields and the plains, of the trees and the stars, of the little animals of the meadows, in a word, of all things, animate and inanimate, of sky and earth; love, too, of the living and the dead, whether friend or foe.

Excerpt from A French Mother in War Time, 1916: Being the Journal of Madame Edouard Drumont Close as our relations with France have been of late years, it is still very hard for most English people to grasp the mentality of the French nation, and fully to understand the point of view from which a French person looks at passing events. It has therefore been thought that a translation of this Journal of Madame Drumont, the wife of the well-known editor of the Libre Parole, might be of interest to English readers, as giving them such an insight. The Journal speaks for itself, and needs no comment, but it may be useful to state that M. Drumont is an Imperialist in politics, and that Paul, who figures so largely, is Madame Drumont's son by a former marriage.
