"I was there" with the Yanks on the western front 1917-1919 - Cyrus Leroy Baldridge
I WAS THERE WITH THE
YANKS ON THE WESTERN
FORNT,1917-1919
BY Baldridge et al
TO OUR MOTHERS
Ours the Great Adventure,
Yours the pain to bear,
Ours the golden service stripes,
Yours the marks of care.
If all the Great Adventure
The old Earth ever knew,
Was ours and in this little book
'Twould still belong to you!
These Sketches were made during a year's service as a camion driver with the French army in the Chemin-des-Dames sector and a year's service with the A.E.F. as an infantry private on special duty with The Stars and Stripes,
the official A.E.F. newspaper. Most of them were drawn at odd minutes during the French push of 1917 near Fort Malmaison, at loading parks and along the roadside while on truck convoy, and while on special permission to draw and paint with the French army given me by the Grand Quartier Gènèral during the time I was stationed at Soissons. The rest were drawn on American fronts from the Argonne to Belgium as my duties took me from one offensive to another.
It has been a keen regret to me that my artistic skill has been so unequal to these opportunites. The sketches do not sufficiently show war for the stupid horror I know it to be.
I hope, however, they may serve as a record of doughboy types, of the people he lived with in France, with whom he suffered and by whose side he fought.
