Description:Excerpt from Forging the Sword, the Story of Camp Devens, New England's Army Cantonment A suggestion is really a germ. A request might be called a germ grown up. And an order - well, everybody who has been in the army knows what an order is! N 0w there are without doubt many better qualified to turn out a history of Camp Devens than the writer of this volume, and for that among other reasons it is hoped that this book will not be considered a history by prospective readers Of its pages. If they start with the idea of reading a history, they will be disillusioned before they get very far. But the idea of a story of Devens has been suggested, requested and or dered - all three, and the compliance of the writer will be found on the pages following. As a story containing most of the high lights of the activities at Camp Devens it is the honest belief of the writer that it will be found sufficiently accurate. That many, many details have been necessarily omitted is granted. It pretends to be a gen eral story of what happened at New England's cantonment during the World War, garnished with lighter details here and there to give courage to any disinterested reader into whose hands it may fall; that and nothing more. AS such it is Offered to those who are interested. If any credit is to be given for the publication of the story here described, the major share of it belongs to the Boston Globe. That newspaper published more news of New England troops during the World War than any other Boston daily, and carried in its columns nearly three quarters of a million words of news regarding the troops at Camp Devens alone.
