With The Allies

Bag om With The Allies

With The Allies is a book written by Richard Harding Davis that provides a detailed account of his experiences during World War I as a correspondent for the New York Tribune. The book is divided into two parts, the first part covering his time in France and the second part covering his time in Belgium. In the first part, Davis describes his journey to France and his encounters with various military personnel, including General Pershing. He also provides a vivid description of the trenches and the horrors of war that he witnessed. Davis also includes interviews with soldiers and civilians, providing a unique perspective on the war from those directly affected by it.In the second part, Davis travels to Belgium and reports on the devastation caused by the German invasion. He describes the destruction of towns and cities, the displacement of civilians, and the bravery of Belgian soldiers. Davis also includes interviews with Belgian civilians and soldiers, providing a personal account of their experiences during the war.Overall, With The Allies is a compelling and informative account of World War I from the perspective of a journalist who witnessed the events firsthand. It provides a unique insight into the realities of war and the impact it had on the people involved.More Uhlans followed, the hoofs of their magnificent horses ringing like thousands of steel hammers breaking stones in a road; and after them the giant siege-guns rumbling, growling, the mitrailleuse with drag-chains ringing, the field-pieces with creaking axles, complaining brakes, the grinding of the steel-rimmed wheels against the stones echoing and re-echoing from the house front. When at night for an instant the machine halted, the silence awoke you, as at sea you wake when the screw stops.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
