Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This is a most interesting book. It ought not to need even a Foreword, with such a Preface to it as has been written by one of our greatest soldiers - Sir Horace Smith Dorrien; but, as the author is anxious that I too should write a word, I add this Foreword to say that readers will find here a plain, unvarnished account of a Chaplain's experiences during the early part of the War.
