    • Abstract:
      The latest crop of personal narratives of the war, French, British, and American, represents a gleaning rather than a harvest. The field of major operations having been pretty well worked over, there has been a falling back all along the literary line to those fringes of the conflict where more time than blood was spent; or, if testimony has insisted on coming through from the front, it is the testimony not of persons who were in anything important, but of more or less inspired camp- followers, who idealized war at moderately close range, that is to say, at its back door.
