Excerpt from A Temporary Gentleman in France: Home Letters From an Officer at the Front
I know there are very many thousands of them who are just like this particular Temporary Gentleman, - even as there must be many thousands of his like in America, - because there have been so many among those with whom I have lived and worked and fought, in the trenches. And it does seem to me, after study of the letters, that this statement forms something of a tribute to the spirit, the efficiency, and the devotion to their duty, of the whole tribe of the Temporary Officers.
